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

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.
