Delta Air Lines said on January 5 it will team up with T-Mobile to offer members of its SkyMiles program free in-flight wifi.
The service will run from February 1, the airline said, and would not be limited to T-Mobile subscribers. “T-Mobile customers already get free in-flight wifi, and now we’re partnering with Delta to bring that experience to all SkyMiles ,embers so that anyone flying Delta can enjoy online access," said Mike Sievert, T-Mobile chief executive.
The service will be rolled out on domestic US flights in 2023, with international routes to be covered the following year, according to Delta.
“The ability to stay connected while seeing the world is simply foundational", said Ed Bastian, the airline's chief executive.
