All of Delta's 747-400 aircraft will have Wi-Fi installed by mid-2014.

"Our customers want to remain productive in-flight and that does not stop as they fly over U.S. borders," said Tim Mapes, Delta's senior vice president – Marketing. "Expanding Delta's Wi-Fi services internationally is another benefit of the investments we are making to improve the travel experience, and give our customers exactly what they want."

Delta will complete the installation of Wi-Fi service on its entire international fleet by the end of 2015.
