American Airlines (AAL) and AT&T (T) said they will be offering complimentary inflight Wi-Fi across more than 2M American flights a year, beginning in January 2026. “With complimentary inflight Wi-Fi available exclusively to members of the AAdvantage loyalty program, American will offer free inflight connectivity on more planes than any other domestic carrier, sponsored by AT&T,” the companies stated. Beginning in January 2026, American will offer complimentary Wi-Fi on all aircraft equipped with Viasat (VSAT) and Intelsat high-speed satellite connectivity, accounting for roughly 90% of its fleet. “To prepare for the launch, American conducted a limited-time complimentary Wi-Fi test on select routes, allowing the airline to gauge the strength of its service, which surpassed performance expectations. American is also on pace to outfit more than 500 regional aircraft with high-speed Wi-Fi by the end of 2025, in time for next year’s complimentary Wi-Fi service,” the companies added.
