Summary
Delta Air Lines is testing Bluetooth connectivity on select fleet types, including Boeing 767s, to enable passengers to pair their wireless headphones with the in-flight entertainment system. Currently, only first-class cabins on Delta’s Airbus A321neo jets offer this feature. The airline is also planning to introduce a new seatback device with 4K screens and Bluetooth pairing in every cabin on newly delivered A321neos and Airbus A350-1000s.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Delta’s in-flight entertainment system is getting a major software upgrade, bringing Bluetooth connectivity to more planes. Passengers may soon be able to pair their wireless headphones on Boeing 767s and Airbus A350-900s. The airline is also introducing a new seatback device with 4K screens and Bluetooth pairing on newly delivered planes. But for now, only first-class cabins on Airbus A321neo jets offer this feature. The upgrade is part of Delta’s efforts to keep up with its rival, United Airlines, which has already outfitted over 800 jets with Bluetooth-ready systems.
Because what’s a flight without the anxiety of hoping your wireless headphones connect.
