Hello again! I know many of you have been hungering for the latest information on Delta’s Wi-Fi installs so let’s get right to it…
As of this week, Delta has completed 73% of the domestic mainline fleet. Breaking it down, we’ve installed Wi-Fi on 383 of 528 aircraft, further cementing Delta’s status as the airline with the world’s largest Wi-Fi-equipped fleet.
Technicians are averaging two installations per night and with just a handful of A319s left, they’ll quickly move on to multiple A320 installations each night. I know everyone in DTW, MEM and MSP are excited about that news!
Our goal for completing the entire domestic mainline fleet is summer 2010.
Completed Fleets:
MD88: 117
MD-90: 16
B737-700: 10
B737-800: 71
B767-300 (non-ETOPS birds): 10
Fleets in Progress:
A319: 34
A320: 3
B757-200: 120
B757-300: 1 (Deactivated pending certification)
DC9-50: 1 A/C (Deactivated pending certification)
Have a great weekend and I’ll make sure to update the stats bi-weekly.
