Passengers flying on Delta Air Lines will soon be able to connect to a free Wi-Fi service on most flights, beginning in February, the company said on Jan. 5.

CEO Ed Bastian announced the move at the CES technology trade show, noting that the decision to provide the free service was prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, when most flights ground to a halt.
