Amazon, Delta Team up for in-Flight Wi-Fi, Challenging Musk's Starlink
Amazon Leo will offer 2-4 times faster Wi-Fi than current speeds on about 500 Delta planes, enabling video calls and enhancing passenger connectivity starting in 2028.
- On Tuesday, Amazon Leo and Delta Air Lines announced a partnership to provide high-speed satellite Wi-Fi on 500 of the airline's aircraft, with service beginning in 2028.
- Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian stated the partnership leverages the airline's existing relationship with Amazon Web Services while promising pricing "substantially less" than current options.
- Offering speeds two to four times faster than current levels, the service will initially equip domestic-focused narrow-body aircraft including newly ordered Boeing 737 Max 10 planes and older Airbus A321s.
- This deal intensifies competition between Amazon Leo and Elon Musk's Starlink, which currently provides satellite internet for rival carriers including United Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
- Amazon has deployed 214 satellites since April 2025, though the company recently requested a two-year extension from the Federal Communications Commission for its 3,200-satellite deployment deadline.
