Dark Horse Delta Announces Massive In-Flight WiFi Rollout
Look out, American Airlines. Delta announced this morning that it will install in-flight WiFi on more than 330 planes by summer of 2009.
The carrier will partner with Aircell, the same company that's behind the wireless offerings planned for AA and Virgin America. The company uses cellular technology, meaning the service will only be available on domestic flights.
First up for WiFi will be Delta's 133 MD-88/90s. Soon after, the carrier will install the system across more than 200 737s, 757s and 767-300s.
