Delta Airlines will begin offering in-flight internet service on its long haul service to Ghana in early 2013. The airline will install the Wi-Fi service in its international fleet of more than 150 aircraft, which includes Boeing 777, 767, 747, Airbus 330 and trans-oceanic Boeing 757 aircraft in early 2013. The expanded Wi-Fi service will use satellites to provide coverage internationally and will complement the existing air-to-ground service already provided by Gogo for aircraft flying within U.S. Delta already operates the world�s largest Wi-Fi-equipped fleet of aircraft with more than 3,000 flights daily, including its entire fleet of 550 domestic mainline aircraft. More than 800 Delta aircraft, including all Delta Connection two-class regional jets, are equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi service offering more than 400,000 customers per day access to the internet above 10,000 feet. The international service will use high-bandwidth Ku-band capacity satellites to provide global coverage. When completed in 2015, Delta will operate approximately 1,000 Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft in its worldwide fleet. �Delta�s advancement in technology has been a key component to our improvements in the customer travel experience and has been cited by J.D. Power and Associates and PC World magazine as important aspects of travel,� said Tim Mapes, Delta�s Senior Vice president in charge of marketing. �With our expansion of international Wi-Fi options across our fleet, Delta customers will be able to stay connected throughout their journey.�
