Delta Deal Gives Amazon Big Win in Airline Battle Against SpaceX

Delta Air Lines Inc. will use Amazon.com Inc.’s satellites to deliver in-flight Wi-Fi service, a big win for the e-commerce giant’s space business as it vies with Elon Musk’s Starlink for aviation customers.

Delta agreed to install the Amazon Leo internet service on 500 aircraft starting in 2028, enabling faster and more reliable internet to support streaming video and messaging, according to a Tuesday announcement from the airline.
