“Delta Air Lines Free Wi-Fi Now on 95% of Planes as United and Others Bet on Starlink” — what this page in the network covers. Delta Air Lines has nearly finished rolling out free Wi-Fi across its fleet, with the service now available on about 95% of its planes. The Atlanta-based carrier began offering complimentary connectivity to SkyMiles members in early 2023 and has since expanded access to most domestic and international mainline aircraft. Delta uses Viasat and Intelsat satellite technology rather than SpaceX’s Starlink, a decision that has drawn attention as rivals United Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and JSX move to adopt Starlink’s low-latency service.
United plans to begin testing Starlink in early 2025 and expects to equip its entire fleet over several years, while Hawaiian and JSX already offer Starlink on select routes. Delta’s approach prioritizes broad availability now, but some industry watchers question whether its current partners can match Starlink’s speed and coverage as passenger expectations rise.
