Delta begins rollout of free WiFi on international flights

Delta in July began adding its free WiFi for SkyMiles loyalty members on Viasat-equipped flights between the U.S. and each Paris and Nice in France. 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 U.K., 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 will be added in September, though service there is currently suspended.

During October, the carrier will offer free WiFi 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 WiFi to its SkyMiles loyalty program members in February 2023. Delta said that today, “free, streaming-quality connectivity is available on nearly 700 aircraft — more than 90% of Delta’s domestic fleet.”
