Gogo helps launch “Delta Studio” with Delta Air Lines Gogo has announced that it has launched a first of its kind wireless inflight entertainment experience with Delta Air Lines called “Delta Studio.” The new wireless inflight entertainment product will offer passengers a variety of television shows and movies that will be streamed wirelessly to passengers’ own Wi-Fi enabled devices. Passengers sitting in premium seats will be able to access all of the content free of charge, while economy customers will have access to most titles for free. To access the content, a passenger can simply launch the browser on their laptop, Android or Apple tablet, or iPhone device and they will automatically be directed to Delta Studio. Gogo’s seat selection technology integrates with Delta’s flight records through an API that will serve up the appropriate content when a passenger enters their name and seat number.
Delta Studio is available on all Gogoequipped Delta flights that operate domestically. The Gogo Vision product is now installed on more than 1,500 aircraft across four U.S. airlines.
