Delta Begins Rollout of Int’l Free Wi-Fi

Delta Air Lines in July began adding its free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles loyalty members on Viasat-equipped flights between the United States and each Paris and Nice in France, the carrier announced Monday. The service on additional international flights will roll out on an ongoing basis.

In August, Delta plans to add the service on flights to and from the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy. September will see additional European countries added, including Iceland, Ireland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland. Israel also will be added in September, though service there is suspended through Aug. 31.

During October, the carrier will offer free Wi-Fi on flights between the U.S. and South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) followed by Hawaii. By January 2025, flights to and from Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal will be added, with South Africa and transpacific flights (Asia, Australia and New Zealand) slated to offer the service by mid-to-late 2025.

Delta began to offer domestic free inflight Wi-Fi to its SkyMiles loyalty program members in February 2023, and today “free, streaming-quality connectivity is available on nearly 700 aircraft—more than 90 percent of Delta’s domestic fleet,” according to the carrier.
