Delta Air Lines announced on Tuesday that broadband wireless Internet access will be available on its entire domestic mainline fleet of more than 330 airplanes by next summer. Furthermore, the U.S. carrier said that it would begin offering Wi-Fi access on some of its aircrafts as early as October this year.

The move comes as the nation’s No. 3 carrier is aiming to surpass companies such as JetBlue, famous for providing its planes with satellite TV, and American Airlines, which is also intending to launch Internet service this year. What’s more, several airlines, including Continental, Southwest and Virgin America, are planning to offer similar services. Nonetheless, some of these companies, unlike Delta and Continental, intend to provide Wi-Fi access to a limited number of flights.

As a result of Tuesday’s announcement, Delta will be the first major U.S. airline to provide its main fleet of jets with a technology that permits passengers to have access to the Internet while flying. Delta Air Lines is associating with Aircell, an airborne communications provider, in order to install the network on the company’s domestic fleet. The service will cost $9.95 for flights of three hours or less and $12.95 for flights which last more than three hours.

However, financial terms of the settlement between the two companies have not been divulged. Moreover, Delta did not specify how much it expects to earn by providing the service on its domestic flights. According to The Associated Press, Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton reported that the airline was taking into account to offer such services on its international flights, too, but that no decision had been taken.
