Google has strike deals with Delta Air Lines and AirTran Airways offer free in-flight Wi-Fi to customers on Delta flights equipped with Gogo Inflight Internet service and all AirTran Airways passengers between Nov. 20, 2010 and Jan. 2, 2011.
Delta has more than 540 Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft flying more than 2,200 domestic flights each day. Delta expects more than 11 million customers to benefit from this holiday promotion. Delta began installing Wi-Fi on its domestic fleet in fall 2008 and today operates the largest fleet of Wi-Fi enabled aircraft in the world.
Customers using the free Wi-Fi during the holiday season can tag #DeltaWifi on Twitter to show they are tweeting from 30,000+ feet. Users can also add the hashtag to their tweets to participate in discussions and follow other users by searching for “#DeltaWifi.” More information on about Delta’s in-flight Wi-Fi services is available at delta.com/wifi
“We are delighted to join forces with Google Chrome to give our loyal customers free inflight Wi-Fi,” said Tad Hutcheson, vice president of marketing and sales for AirTran Airways. “We pride ourselves on offering the most consistent, high-quality flying experience to our passengers, and we are happy to add to that experience free Wi-Fi on every AirTran Airways flight this holiday season.”
