Delta taps Viasat for in-flight connectivity

Saturday, 06 Jan, 2021 0

Delta Air Lines has selected Viasat Inc as its new in-flight wi-fi service provider.

It will use Viasat’s proprietary Ka-band satellite connectivity on more than 300 narrow-body aircraft.

This includes those retrofitted and new planes.

It expects the rollout to start in summer 2021.

Delta announced last year it was ending its partnership with Gogo.

The change of provider and tech will bring a new user interface and more personalized content, the airline says.

"Delta is committed to optimize the customer journey, and we’re committed to helping them build a foundation toward a better in-flight internet and entertainment experience," said  Rick Baldridge, President and CEO of Viasat.

It offers a faster and more consistent connection, and more capability to stream content, Delta says.
