Delta Air Lines’ fast, free Delta Sync WiFi is now available to all customers flying across its transatlantic network to Europe, Israel and West Africa, transforming its aircraft into “personalised platforms”.

Delta Air Lines’ fast, free Delta Sync WiFi, presented by T-Mobile, is now available to all customers flying across its transatlantic network to Europe, Israel and West Africa. This is a major step toward Delta’s goal of bringing free WiFi to its entire global fleet, after having already completed rollout to the entire domestic mainline fleet. WiFi rollout continues to expand to routes serving South America, which Delta expects to complete later this spring.

“Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Delta teams, we’re making enormous strides in our efforts to bring fast, free WiFi to every aircraft in our fleet, which in turn will transform our aircraft into personalised platforms where customers can connect and engage in meaningful new ways,” said Ranjan Goswami, S.V.P. – Customer Experience Design, Delta Air Lines. “With the addition of our pioneering dual-network connectivity solution to 717s and forthcoming A350-1000 and A321neo new deliveries, we’re unlocking new possibilities for what it means to stay connected in the air.”

As part of its connectivity upgrade, Delta will equip its entire Boeing 717 fleet with a first-of-its-kind solution designed to set a new standard for connectivity in commercial aviation. The solution enables simultaneous dual-network connectivity to deliver the best possible online experience, which means seamless streaming to personal devices and superior performance across Delta’s network.

Delta expects dual-network connectivity retrofits to begin in Q4, with the entire 717 fleet expected to be complete by early 2026. Coming in late 2026, select new delivery A350-1000 and A321neo aircraft will also be outfitted with the dual-network connectivity solution, further enhancing the next-generation Delta Sync seatback experience. The next-gen seatback experience will include intelligent 4K HDR QLED displays, Bluetooth capabilities, advanced personalisation, and more.
