Delta Airlines expands inflight internet

Monday 31 Aug 2009 7:22pm

After installing Wi-Fi technology on nearly half of its mainline fleet in the US Delta Airlines has laid claim to the title of the world's leading provider of inflight internet services. Of the 300+ aircraft that the airline currently utilises on its domestic routes, 139 have been equipped with the Gogo inflight internet system, with the entire fleet set to be brought into line by September. The technology enables people catching connecting flights with Delta to surf the web, access email accounts and send instant messages from devices with internet capability. Wi-Fi connections are available in all classes on a pay-per-flight basis. Delta's senior vice-president of marketing, Tim Mapes, said: 'In response to the interests of our customers, Delta is the market leader in providing inflight Wi-Fi and is well on its way to offering guaranteed Wi-Fi every time our customers fly a mainline flight within the continental United States. ' 'We are fully committed to investing in innovative onboard technology that adds value for our customers, be it in the form of seat-back satellite TV, on-demand movies or now Wi-Fi,' he added. Travellers from the UK can catch direct flights to New York, Atlanta or Los Angeles with Delta to join up with its domestic network, which includes services to Seattle, Austin and New Orleans.
