More airlines are turning to alternative relationships outside of T-Mobile.
Credit: Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has been the leader in free in-flight Wi-Fi for years, but that’s slowly changing. Both American Airlines and United Airlines have shifted to new, free options outside of T-Mobile. Delta is also expected to eventually transition around 2028 or so, as it shifts its partnership to Amazon Leo.
For years, T-Mobile has been the go-to option for those looking for free wireless access while traveling through the airways. That’s starting to change, however. Earlier this week, T-Mobile started notifying customers that “due to changes in airline Wi-Fi programs, free in-flight Wi-Fi may no longer be available on some flights and airlines starting April 13”.
Now we’ve learned that United Airlines and American Airlines have officially ended their deals with T-Mobile as well. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
