Delta Airlines to Offer Free Wi-Fi
Delta Airlines is expected to offer free wireless internet for its passengers as soon as early 2023. The air carrier is initially expected to offer free Wi-Fi on a significant portion of its airplanes before turning on the service on more of its fleet through next year.
The move is likely to intensify competition over in-flight offerings as airlines rebound from the pandemic. Internet access has been a priority for Delta with premium features that attract higher-paying leisure and business travelers. It has recently been testing offers of free Wi-Fi for any members of its frequent-flier program on several domestic mainline routes.
