Delta Will be the First Airline to Offer WiFi on All US Flights

Published by Travel Guy under News

After a number of US carriers announced plans to offer the service on specific aircraft models, Delta Airlines has decided it wasn’t interested in these half-measures.

By next year, it plans to have every aircraft in its domestic fleet fitted with hardware to allow in-flight WiFi access.
