Overview

• The rollout spans more than 165,000 seatback screens across 930+ aircraft and is also available through Delta Sync Wi‑Fi.
• Programming appears as curated collections of videos, podcasts, and playlists rather than open access to the full YouTube site.
• SkyMiles logins on domestic Wi‑Fi flights enable the ad‑free trial without submitting credit card details.
• Delta expanded its YouTube Music integration, introducing a new instrumental boarding playlist created with flight attendants.
• YouTube is slated to be part of a cloud‑based Delta Sync seatback platform targeted for 2026, which the airline says will allow faster content updates.
