The service provided by T-Mobile is seen as “a major milestone in the airline’s journey to bring reliable, streaming quality connectivity to its entire global fleet for free,” a statement from Kingdom Concept Consult said.

Most transatlantic flights, according to the CCompany, “are expected to be in service with free Wi-Fi by the end of the summer.”

“Today, free streaming-quality connectivity is available on nearly 700 aircraft – more than 90% of Delta’s domestic mainline fleet – and the airline expects that vast majority of customers will have access to the product by the end of the year.

“As we continue to roll out fast, free Wi-Fi and the in-flight experiences it powers, we’re able to serve customers travelling both domestically and internationally in new, in-the-moment ways,” Ranjan Goswami, S.V.P, Customer Experience Design, was quoted in the statement.

“The scale at which we’re bringing free Wi-Fi to customers is unmatched in the airline industry, and it’s a testament to the incredible efforts of Delta teams across the business that have expertly navigated an extremely complex rollout,” he added.
