Dwight James, S.V.P. – Customer Engagement & Loyalty, CEO— Delta Vacations | Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines has announced a new partnership with YouTube as part of its Delta Sync in-flight entertainment system. SkyMiles Members will soon have access to ad-free content from their favorite creators, podcasts, and music artists while flying on most Delta flights. This initiative is part of Delta's next-generation, cloud-based in-flight entertainment system aimed at providing a more personalized and accessible experience for travelers.

"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.
