ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines is testing free Wi-Fi on some flights, part of a years-long effort to eventually launch free wireless internet service across many of its flights.
Atlanta-based Delta will offer complimentary Wi-Fi on "a select number of flights this summer," according to Glenn Latta, the airline's managing director of in-flight connectivity. The airline's fees for Wi-Fi normally start at $5 per flight.
Latta added that it's an effort to test the technology and gain insights to eventually offer Wi-Fi that is "as fast and reliable as possible."
