Amazon Leo will power Delta Air Lines’ in-flight Wi‑Fi starting in 2028, initially equipping 500 aircraft with high‑speed, low‑latency connectivity via a low‑Earth‑orbit satellite network and aviation‑grade phased‑array antennas offering up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload.

Starlink Wi‑Fi feud turns into a tirade between Musk and O’Leary

Musk contends the technology is viable and will shape passenger choice as airlines increasingly adopt it.

Despite the occasional $10 charge, it's embarrassing that the Yankees refuse to pay for in-flight Wi-Fi, considering how much money the team spends elsewhere.
