In the past few years, Delta has been investing in improving its inflight Wi-Fi, with the goal of eventually offering free Wi-Fi throughout the fleet, in partnership with T-Mobile. The airline started rolling out free Wi-Fi in early 2023. While a vast majority of the domestic fleet now has free Wi-Fi, there’s still a lot of work to be done on long haul, international flights.
The airline has now shared a positive update when it comes to free Wi-Fi on international flights, and has provided an updated timeline about what we can still expect.
In this post:
Delta international flights will have free Wi-Fi by 2026
Delta has slowly started introducing free Wi-Fi on international, wide body aircraft that are equipped with a Viasat system. Wi-Fi is rolling out on Viasat-equipped international aircraft between July 2024 and 2026, with the availability of the service varying by route. Specifically, here’s the progress with free Wi-Fi on Viasat equipped aircraft:
- The exciting update is that as of now (early April 2025), Delta is offering free Wi-Fi on all routes between the United States and Europe, Israel, and West Africa
- Delta expects to offer free Wi-Fi on routes to South America as of late spring 2025
- Delta expects to offer free Wi-Fi on routes to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, by some point in 2026
The airline of course notes that this schedule is subject to change based on the aircraft installation schedule, and also based on testing and satellite availability.
Furthermore, during this transition period, there are some coverage gaps where Wi-Fi is not available until additional satellites are positioned to provide full coverage. Some aircraft have a paid Intelsat Wi-Fi experience until these additional satellites are in service, and these aircraft are outfitted with upgraded satellite Wi-Fi.
Delta is behind schedule with free Wi-Fi rollout
It’s nice that Delta is finally offering free Wi-Fi on nearly all transatlantic routes, including to Europe, Israel, and West Africa. That’s a positive development. However, there’s still a lot of work to be done, and Delta is way behind schedule.
For example, in mid-2023, Delta stated it planned to have free Wi-Fi on all international flights by the end of 2024. It looks like best case scenario, we can now expect that to be complete by some point in 2026. However, even that isn’t a sure bet. So we’re looking at a delay of roughly two years, and it could get worse.
Admittedly delays do happen with projects like these, so that’s hardly surprising. I commend Delta for undertaking this project, as it’s no small task. Delta isn’t alone in investing in Wi-Fi, as United is rolling out Starlink Wi-Fi fleetwide.
Bottom line
Delta has been working on introducing free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles members. Currently over 90% of the domestic mainline fleet has free Wi-Fi. In recent months, Delta has been working on introducing free Wi-Fi on the international fleet.
You can now expect free Wi-Fi on flights between the United States and Europe, Israel, and West Africa. South America flights should get free Wi-Fi by some point this spring, while the remaining routes will get Wi-Fi by 2026.
What do you make of Delta’s Wi-Fi rollout for international flights?
Got a pic of a acars message for you little irrelevant delusional Tim
https://freeimage.host/i/35jPUJf
none of which changes that Delta ALREADY has more airplanes equipped with free high speed WiFi than any other airline in the world, should complete the remaining aircraft by the end of the year, and will be the ONLY airline offering free high speed WiFi on all of their flights across the Atlantic and to Latin America in just a couple months.
You should be worrying about when AA management starts sending ACARS messages telling...

You should be worrying about when AA management starts sending ACARS messages telling you that AA cannot survive the economic mess that is enveloping the world and will be filing chapter 11 or more appropriately it will be 33 or 44 and then be acquired by Alaska.
Consolidation is coming. AA is the weakest link. You want that partnership with AS? You'll get it... and center pork will become a museum
I’ll worry when delta figures out their Seattle hub sucks
Which everyone knows except tim Dunn and the airliners.net moderator staff, apparently, paid by delta corporate(it’s ok. You remnants can now admit delta pays for the website to pay you all )
If AS takes over AA…
Tim
That should be your worst nightmare.
AA already defeated delta in the SE,
United beat delta in the Midwest
A oneworld domestic carrier...

My goodness, Timmy delta would be relegated to Amsterdam and rusted America ;)
Careful what you wish for cup cake
Dreams can come true
Even yours
Delta has the worst cards of any carrier
And they know it. It’s why they constantly try to bug other airlines but no one wants to partner with delta’s failed codeshare model unless delta pays them billions
you can only wish that AA managed to figure out their west coast network - so you trash DL's SEA hub which is more than AA ever accomplished on the west coast - despite their drooling.
you truly do bad drugs.
AA is a distant second to DL in the SE other than in MIA. CLT is a disaster a day. No sane person wants to connect there - which is why connections via CLT...

AA is a distant second to DL in the SE other than in MIA. CLT is a disaster a day. No sane person wants to connect there - which is why connections via CLT are the cheapest. No wonder AA's margins are so much less than DL's.
DL's twin MSP and DTW hub strategy allows it to sweep every other airline. You are as ignorant as June 21 in northern Michigan is long if you think anyone other than DL owns the Midwest.
you spouted about how great AA's WiFi was on its ten flight TPAC network... and we end up w/ you sweating bullets that AS could relegate AA to a failed subsidiary just like HA.
Unlike Isom, Alaska will get rid of the fat and losing hubs - which means large parts of AA's network.
AA is by far the most vulnerable in the downturn that is on the way - and you want to tout the 4 people per flight that used AA's WiFi on its 10 flights/day across the Pacific?
Yes Sir! It is a really messed up world in which we live.
The nonsensical world of American influence is contaminating the world.
Long live the American gun lobbyists who promote the killing of others gun touting mentally unstable people.
Long live the Central American drug lords who are turning the weak minded American population into feckless zombies.

One just loves troll baiting.
Good news that Delta is not partnering with the fascist owned Starlink.
Unfortunately gross ignorance rules this particular topic.
It is such a shame that Ben is being used and his blog abused by revolting self proclaimed aviation geeks.
Clearly they only post herein to disseminate their vile rhetoric towards their more knowledgeable betters.
At times it has been amusing to belittle them, however, as they do not possess the intellect to recognise such, they are becoming so boring.
Lordy
Aren’t you sleepy?
Tim
Drink less
Funny this is posted hours ago but just put here.
aero isn’t a known poster because tim posted a drunk email address, rather than the usual fake email address. Aka. Aero is just a fake tim alter ego as most of us know
Because, tim, like his many alter egos exists in some weird world that is as real as Alice in wonderland
The only reality is that “tim” was fired by delta years ago and hates to admit it
Sleep tight, tim/aero
This is sad
As ever for you you, tim
once again, you prove you have no clue how time stamps work esp. since it has been here for hours.
We get it... anyone that dares challenge the status quo is all the same person in your damaged mind.
now tell us again about the great WiFi experience for the 40 passengers/day on AA's TPAC network.
More people log onto DL's free high speed WiFi on its two ELP-ATL flgihts than on AA's entire TPAC network
Again, I'm flying TPAC not El Paso.
And I can't use wifi at least half of the flight.
Now use 9 paragraphs to argue with me on El Paso or other fluff and ignore ICN flights with no wifi. GO.
TD, there is absolutely no point in responding to the gross ignorance of the PLAIN Jane Bot, that which is tagged Julie, Eskimo, Mason or Arps.
Not only are they undeniably ignorant about so many aviation matters, they are rude, crude and revoltingly disrespectful towards Ben and those who follow this blog with interest.
One is content that if human, they must be very little people of no consequence, with absolutely no interest...

That said many of us have enjoyed a grin at their expense, all be it a very pitiful grin.
The poor darlinks have obviously done nothing, been nowhere and can only dream of a better life in their pond …. a unicellular organism perhaps?
Regardless of the Miami time stamp applied to this post, I press send at 0747hrs GMT.
I was on DL to ICN a few weeks ago. They had "free wifi" but only in (roughly) North American airspace - once we got west of about Anchorage, no signal the rest of the way. (The crew did warn us of that when we boarded.)
Ironically, on the way back, I had a 359 with "non-upgraded" WiFi (i.e. where you have to purchase and/or have a TMobile account), and that worked the whole way with no issues.
Standard Delta if you actually look at what they "have", vs their advertising. Delta does not have high speed wifi domestically (they purposefully don't with theirr own mainline flights and decisions) And it certainly is not free globally. Delta's own FA's whine about no wifi from Australia and NZ constantly if you know even a single one. Delta has no wifi for most everything except the atlantic, unlike AA and United.

It was a purposeful choice by Delta. Just like AA, they knew Viasat wouldn't haven wifi across the pacific for a LONG time. But delta chose this for their customers but again CHOOSES to advertise otherwise to their customers knowing their own lie.
as usual, the only liar is you.
I just used WiFi on a DL flight to S. America and the crew members were using it too.
and, again, you can shout as long as you want but AA DOESN'T OFFER FREE WIFI ON A SINGLE AIRCRAFT AND HAS NO PLANS TO DO SO.
you are clearly desperately afraid that DL will steal even more of AA's premium passengers and revenue.
add in UA's efforts...

add in UA's efforts at AA house cleaning in Chicago and AA faced a challenging future even before yesterday at 4 pm eastern time.
WiFi is the least of AA's problems in a significantly reduced demand environment which is where the US airline industry is headed...which is probably why they have halted FA hiring.
Tim,
as usual, the only liar is you.
Sadly you're only lying to yourself.
Customers and any flight crew flown that route before can confirm @Jim the wifi blackout on the new wifi 359 to ICN.
I wasn't on the flight Jim said he was on.
I was on a DL widebody to S. America that DID have high speed Wifi.
You and everyone else that posts the nonsense you post do it ONLY because you can't stand to admit that DL is about ready to do in international markets to AA what it has done domestically.
Within WEEKS, DL will have free high speed WiFi across 90% of its network....

Within WEEKS, DL will have free high speed WiFi across 90% of its network. The remaining domestic aircraft - 717s and large RJs - as well as the Pacific routes will have free high speed WiFi on one platform or the other not only by the end of the year but long before any other big 3 or large TPAC airline has it across the Pacific.
AA has NO commitment to free high speed Wifi and yet you and your pain in the backside sidekick is supposed to believe that AA's PAID Wifi over the Pacific is supposed to offset over 700 DL domestic aircraft that ALREADY have free high speed WiFi, that will grow by another 100 international a/c in a few weeks, and another 400 RJs will be added by the end of the year.
but go ahead and delude yourself that AA is a better WiFi proposition.
Again, Tim
You pretend to be on flights that everyone knows you can't afford given your commenting fetish.
I admit, it's funny.
Talk to us when every Delta Flight to South America, Asia, and Oceania has wifi.
this is a norm on AA. Delta shouldn't deceive customers otherwise.
AA will be happy to wait until Delta actually has high speed wifi on every mainline flight, domestic and international.
Delta has NEVER had...

come back to us when they do. ;) This is cute aside from your idiocy.
you're so weird lol
I never said AA has free wifi.
Read. Loser.
I said AA has high speed wifi that works globally.
Delta does not and never has.
seriously, move outside Atlanta. The world is bigger than your prejudice and MAGA love.
the only one that is disturbed is someone that even THINKS that AA's WiFi is in any way superior to DL's.
The 4 people per flight that used AA's paid TPAC WiFi in 2024 doesn't come close to offsetting the benefits that DL's high speed FREE WiFi provided to over 100 million domestic passengers in 2024 and will be extended to tens of millions of TATL and Latin passengers by the end of the year.

And DL WILL get free high speed WiFi over the Pacific.
That anyone would pick a gnat off the back of an elephant and try to look for your own superiority at the expense of someone else that is far superior to what AA offers is beyond laughable.
It is clear that you and the rest of your ilk in Texas are beyond scared spitless at how much more revenue DL will manage to take from AA.
Again
Come back to the group when delta has high speed WiFi on every mainline plane globally
Your comical excuses are funny but just that; comical.
AA does. I can stream every mainline flight I have with them. And they’re well ahead of delta regionally on that front
Look to reality, not marketing. I wish AA did.
See you never, tim
Get back w/ us when American has FREE high speed WiFi on even its FIRST aircraft.
More passengers have logged onto DL's free high speed WiFi on DL's TWO mainline flights from ELP to ATL than on AA's pathetically small Pacific system which only boasts PAID WiFi and not even for all of the flight - because no WiFi solution currently works 100% of the time across the Pacific.
thank you for confirming that you...

“ the only one that is disturbed is someone that even THINKS that AA's WiFi is in any way superior to DL's.”
I have to admit I read this. Delta doesn’t have high speed WiFi domestically on their own fleet
Or installed on their international fleet
Or working on their international installed fleet lol
Jesus… you’re so stupid, tim lol
Where do you even come up with all this stupidity?

Ben,
Love ya. But "free" needs to be rephrased. Jetblue offers free wifi. Delta still charges for it unless you join SkyPesos and agree to give up all your data to be sold.
That's "free" but it isn't in line with other carriers that provide better wifi today like AA and jetblue. AA for a charge. but their business model is NOT taking all your data as part of "free". I really think...

Does Delta really need to know about your personal fetish? They seem to want to know about Tim Dunn's trip to the Atlanta Eagle to give free wifi.
But again. It's good to reinforce that Delta does not have free wifi. They have limited wifi on some flights, never global, sometimes they have wifi, many times they have none on HUGE parts of their network, even domestic (per delta's own choices). Delta planned on their 717s having nothing for nearly a decade as part of their "free high speed wifi" knowing well that gogo would be the most they'd have, until 2026 (for now)
AA has global wifi where I can stream netflix on EVERY mainline plane. Including flying DFW-AKL. They're far ahead of competitors on regionals on this front too. AA sucks at marketing but it is true. Delta advertises free wifi but they don't have it. United acts like they will have it but years away. Delta charges for it. Delta has wifi on some flights but, aside from the atlantic, limited wifi globally. United has "wifi" with promises years out of more. but nothing free today. and VERY little streaming today.
I love your website ben, but advertising for "years from now" seems absurd when there's a reality today that people can stream on AA today. They can't globally on DL or UA.
Let's evaluate wifi based on reality, not advertising to blogs.
and for AA WiFi you have to watch a commercial. It is not free.
and neither AA or any other airline other than B6 and DL offer free high speed WiFi.
and there are holes in AA's WiFi coverage just as there are for every other airline right now.
you don't disappoint, tim
Yes. AA has wifi globally except russia where no one does.
FIND ME A SINGLE PLACE WHERE A MAINLINE PLANE ON AA does not have high speed wifi. vs DL.
AA actually does and planned for this. Delta advertises it but doesn't have it basically anywhere. domestically or globally.
Find a new trolling spot, tim. You're out of your element.
And no one said AA has free wifi.
Simply noting Delta doesn't either.
Delta still charges for wifi UNLESS you sign up for their mileage program and agree to give up your entire browsing history to people that Tim Dunn loves.
No one should think "free" is free when it is not.
so you attack DL because you have to sign up or use a SkyMiles number - which doesn't make it free - but then you tout AA's WiFi coverage which isn't free for anyone and includes ads.
Your a sick woman, pain in the backside Jane.
AA does not even have any intention of competing in the onboard amenities space w/ DL or UA. UA at least has aspirations.
and WIFi is the least of...

yes. you can get wifi on aa without ads.
your dedication to Delta is entertaining but you truly know NOTHING about flying other carriers. lol

THERE IS NO DELTA FLIGHT WHERE BUYING WIFI IS NOT AN OPTION. Delta lets you buy wifi on EVERY flight with "Free wifi". The difference is what is done with your data.
Delta uses your data and sells it and... btw does not have high speed wifi on their fleet. Not an apology. They just don't. AA also already has high speed wifi on their regionals and more than DL.
But Delta and AA sell wifi on EVERY FLIGHT. the only difference is whether you agree to sell your browser history and cache history to Delta. AA doesn't ask that.
Find a new spot to troll. You're out of your depth.
But stop acting like delta offers "free" wifi when they sell your data if you agree to "free"
the only one that is beyond clueless is you in thinking that AA's WiFi is better.
AA is so far behind the curve that they will never catch up.
and lack of a competitive WiFi strategy is just PART of WHY AA has fallen so far and so hard.
and the fall is not over. There are a whole lot of people in Center Pork that are scared to pieces right now. AA is HIGHLY...

you're fun.
"who cares about data" or actual high speed wifi on planes?
Data does. And that's AA. Delta simply does not. And it's an active Delta choice, (to use your drunk gay terms) "Dearie"
but Tim...

Having high speed wifi globally is a thing. Delta advertises it but only AA has it. But it's also very delta. Advertise what you don't have. Your competitor actually does...

thanks. Go back to your hole. You make the conversation worse.
"AA does not even have any intention of competing in the onboard amenities space w/ DL or UA. UA at least has aspirations."
I'll bite.

Delta meals are not any place in an example.

Delta used a bunch of poor mexican women to get rid of a good amenity kit on DL to make it SUPER cheap and tried to make it look like it wasn't a cost measure.
I mean, props. But Delta traded TUMI for a Chiapas amenity kit (very recently) and acted like it was a good thing for consumers.
People know.
Dleta is just a farce, just like you and your weird alter-egos, tim.
They can reply with 20,000 words within 2 minutes of you, but people know.
The irony is you still use the same alter egos a few days later...
you're the only one this stupid.
AA doesn't offer a SINGLE flight on which it offers free high speed WiFi.
and you think for one minute that AA has any level of superiority?
take your meds.
You are clearly deathly afraid that DL will steal even more of AA's few remaining high value passengers - and your fear is based in reality.
You better hope Isom is placing a call to Trump to tell him to cool it; if not, AA will be circling the toilet by Labor Day
AA are currently offering free WiFi in a test environment on;
The tests will be available on three flights: Between hub Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina and Raleigh-Durham International Airport; Charlotte and Jacksonville International Airport in Florida; and between Miami International Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
Delta, like American, has the Viasat solution for its longhaul WiFi fleet. They have had multiple delays in getting additional satellites in the sky and delivering the amount of WiFi capacity that were planned. DL's Pacific and S. Atlantic WiFi delays are for this reason.
DL also signed a contract for Hughes WiFi for its remaining A350-900 deliveries which apparently says they are planning an out if Viasat can't deliver.
And, before someone...

And, before someone touts the paid Wifi that other carriers have in regions where DL is not able to offer anything right now, airlines buy capacity from satellite providers. Even though they may use the same satellites as other carriers, if a WiFi provider can't provide the capacity, they can't move forward with any WiFi.
DL is already installing WiFi on its 717s and its regional jets also using a Hughes solution.
Delta still operates the world's largest fleet of aircraft equipped with free high speed WiFi and will have its entire fleet including regional jets completed years before any other airline reaches even a fraction of their fleet.
"Delta, like American, has the Viasat solution for its longhaul WiFi fleet."
Try again, dumbass.
DL used them globally.
AA knew Viasat's limitations and thought about their customers. AA went with a different provider globally.
It's just Delta that can't give wifi to customers globally. AA can.
AA cannot and will not be able to come up w/ free high speed WiFi using any satellite based solution and, most importantly, because AA does not value premium amenities which is why DL has been able to take so much revenue and market share from AA over the past 5 years.
Get back in your box, pain Jane.
You can't stand to admit that DL has already leapfrogged AA and will do the same for the entire global airline industry.
again. As much as you love to change the topic given your weird delusions.
Talk to me when Delta has global high speed wifi. Delta's own choices mean they don't have it domestically or globally.
AA does.
Go home, loser. Zocalo misses you.

Air France will introduce free starlink WiFi this year. Unfortunately it’s starlink whose fascist ceo has a name reminiscent of a 1970s underarm deodorant. KLM has no plans to follow as far as I am aware.
Why bother commenting?
Are you a simple Mason, Eskimo, Arps clone or whatever?
We know you are Tim Dunn's BA alter ego.
You know more than me Gunga Din …. my ego took ‘flight’ when I gave up the cyclic and collective.
TD is probably less knowledgeable about rotary wing aviation.
you're staying up so late today, Aero. are you getting enough sleep, "aero"/tim?
this is getting tragic
Everyone knows this is you, tim
2005hrs here darlink, time for a ‘sherbet’ or two.
Tim's alter ego replying to defend delta. As much as Tim wishes, no Brit gives two F*cks about Delta or AA. Only in Tim's weird dreams. as shown here.
Nothing shows Tim's idiocy more than this.
Nice try, Tim.
you're stupid. no Brit cares about Delta like you do more do they use terms like "darlink" or "Sherbet" like you try.
When you try to use alter egos, try to limit your drunkness.
