Delta Air Lines has announced a new partnership with YouTube as part of its Delta Sync in-flight entertainment system.

"Technology has the power to transform travel and create moments for our customers to enjoy the journey as much as the destination," said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. The airline's commitment includes offering fast, free Wi-Fi and industry-leading seatback screens among other digital channels.

The collaboration with YouTube was announced during CES 2025, marking an expansion of Delta's digital ecosystem. "A multi-layered YouTube partnership gives customers access to the most premium source of content in the industry for free," Bastian added.
