Delta Air Lines plans to increase Wi-Fi speed and coverage
on long-haul domestic routes and service between the United States and the Caribbean and Latin America beginning next year, the carrier announced Wednesday. Gogo in 2016 will begin replacing air-to-ground Wi-Fi technology with satellite-based technology on Delta's long-haul domestic aircraft. Additionally, Delta will install Gogo's satellite-based 2Ku system on more than 250 aircraft that service long-haul domestic routes and routes to Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the carrier. Delta projects it will have Ku-band Wi-Fi on 85 percent of its international fleet by the end of this year and on its entire international fleet by mid-2016.
