Delta Air Lines To Bring New Inflight Entertainment Software To Airbus A319s And A320s

Delta passengers will be introduced to a new entertainment experience during their next few flights with the carrier, with the Atlanta-based carrier announcing that Delta Sync seatback will be rolled out to its Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.

This means that passengers will be able to personalize their seatback screens and log in using the Fly Delta app. The system will then recognize them and provide a new level of convenience and loyalty to its SkyMiles members.

First launched at CES 2023, the initiative was tested onboard select aircraft throughout the carrier’s network, and the feedback was mostly positive. The change in delivery meant that the seatback screen felt more like a smart TV while also including various travel tools to make travelers’ journeys even more enjoyable.
