Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines first unveiled its new innovative inflight entertainment (IFE) and connectivity system, Delta Sync, last year. It was initially installed on Airbus A321 aircraft, but now, one year later, Delta has rolled out its new seatback feature across four other aircraft types. The installation of Delta Sync comes in phases.
This first phase represents around 40% of the airline’s total implementation of the new system. Installed on five aircraft types so far Delta shared last week that passengers traveling on more than 330 aircraft can enjoy Sync. The carrier describes it as a “personalized experience that makes [.
..] seatback screens feel more like a smart TV while offering a host of day-of-travel tools for SkyMiles Members designed to streamline their travel journey.
” In addition to the A321, Delta Sync seatback is also available on A320s, A319s, most Boeing 757-200s in the “75D” configuration, and several 737-800s. The installations comprise just the first phase, as the carrier has more than 165,000 “beloved” seatback screens across its fleet, which it says is the most of any US airline. It will soon expand the product to additional aircraft types in its fleet, which includes the A220-100/-300, A321neo, A330-200/-200/-900neo, A350-900, 737-900ER, other 757-200 configurations, the 757-300, 767-300ER, and 767-400ER.
