TLDR

Yahoo Finance reported that Delta picked Amazon’s LEO satellite internet service over SpaceX’s Starlink for in-flight internet, and the same report said Musk predicted Delta would “lose a lot of customers.” The supplied evidence supports those reported developments, but not the reasons for Delta’s choice or any actual change in bookings.

Yahoo Finance reported that Delta picked Amazon’s LEO satellite internet service over SpaceX’s service for in-flight internet.

In that same Yahoo Finance report, Elon Musk was quoted predicting that Delta would “lose a lot of customers” over the decision.

The supplied evidence supports those two reported developments: Yahoo Finance’s account of Delta’s reported satellite internet choice, and Yahoo Finance’s report that Musk made that customer-loss prediction. It does not confirm why Delta reportedly made that choice or whether travelers have actually changed their booking behavior in response.

Desiree@DesireeAmerica4You're not going to believe how nasty Delta is. ​Delta CEO Ed Bastian got caught trashing Elon Musk at internal meetings to explain why they rejected Starlink. But don't buy the corporate moral high ground for a second. ​Delta tested Starlink, but Elon refused to let them trap passengers behind ad-tracking portals to farm and sell user data. SpaceX wanted instant connection just like home, with zero data harvesting. ​So what did Delta do? They signed with Amazon’s completely untested satellite network which won't even launch fleetwide until 2028. Strictly to monetize passenger information. ​United flyers get 300 Mbps; Delta flyers get dial-up and a data harvest.9d
