Key takeaways - Amazon and Delta to transform travel for tens of millions of people who fly Delta each year. - Amazon Leo will roll out across hundreds of aircraft in the Delta fleet, beginning in 2028 with 500 aircraft. - Agreement builds on the existing long-term relationship between AWS and Delta. Amazon today announced a significant agreement with Delta Air Lines to bring Amazon Leo's advanced satellite technology to hundreds of aircraft, marking a major expansion of the companies' long-standing relationship and delivering next-generation satellite connectivity to tens of millions of people who fly Delta each year. Under the multi-year agreement, Delta will begin rolling out Amazon Leo in 2028 with an initial installation on 500 aircraft, providing customers with high-speed, low-latency Wi-Fi from gate-to-gate. Like Delta’s existing commitment to passengers, Leo-powered in-flight Wi-Fi will be free for all Delta SkyMiles members. “Delta’s future is global,” said Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer. “This agreement gives us the best, fastest and most cost-effective technology available to better connect the world today, and it deepens our work with a global leader that shares our ambition to build what’s next—creating even stronger human connection for our people and our customers for years to come.” Building on the existing relationship between Delta and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Delta and Amazon plan to work together to integrate AWS, Amazon Leo, artificial intelligence, and other Amazon technologies to enhance the customer experience across the entire travel journey. “We’ve designed Leo to provide high-speed internet to the billions of people on Earth without reliable connectivity, and this agreement with Delta is a great example of the impact and scale of the technology—bringing even faster in-flight Wi-Fi to tens of millions of passengers who fly Delta every year," said Andy Jassy, President and CEO of Amazon. “People increasingly want to stay connected wherever they are in the world, and Leo’s speed and reliability is going to have a big impact for businesses, governments, and consumers. It’s going to make the in-flight experience so much better, and it’s going to change what’s possible while traveling.” How Amazon Leo will work for Delta passengers Amazon Leo is powered by a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit—roughly 370 miles above the planet's surface.
