The Atlanta-based career Delta Air Lines is currently in the works of creating a plan that offers its passengers free WiFi as soon as next year. It is currently running tests of free wireless internet for members through its existing frequent-flier program with plans in place to expand this much further in 2023.
According to the reports, the airline will be rolling this service out “on a significant portion of its airplanes” before it broadens it to more of its fleet within the upcoming year. Once it is able to be available for all passengers, it will likely require systems in place including a SkyMiles loyalty number to reach its online services. It was noted by Chief Executive Ed Bastian that this is not a new idea and that it has been in talks for years with technical challenges prior.
