DeltaBeginning today, Delta and YouTube are teaming up to bring two customer favorites together: Delta’s industry-leading in-flight entertainment and fan-favorite YouTube content. Announced at CES 2025, the first-of-its-kind partnership unites a global airline that has spent a century redefining how customers connect with the world around them through travel with a vibrant media brand that has spent the last two decades transforming culture through video and building a thriving creative economy.
Now rolling out across Delta’s fleet – both on fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile for personal devices and on all seatback screens – the new partnership brings SkyMiles Members and customers frictionless, ad-free access to a selection of popular YouTube creators, podcasts and music playlists onboard most flights.
“This partnership was born from a simple but powerful insight: our customers love YouTube,” said Julieta McCurry, Delta’s Vice President of In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity. “As two leaders in our respective spaces, each with a legacy of innovation and a deep commitment to serving as agents of human connection, Delta and YouTube are uniquely positioned to deliver an unmatched customer experience – one that meets you where you are and helps you discover more of your world.”
