Delta is described as having rejected Starlink’s in-flight connectivity, and the dispute escalates as Elon Musk responds to comments attributed to Delta’s leadership. In reporting, Delta’s decision also prompts warnings that the airline could face customer losses.
NDTV says Musk has criticised Delta for choosing Amazon’s in-flight connectivity service (Amazon Leo) instead of Starlink, and notes that Musk had warned a day earlier that the airline could lose a significant number of customers because of the decision. View From The Wing reports that Delta CEO Ed Bastian told employees the airline did not want to work with Musk, and it describes the rationale as tied to Musk’s reputation.
Across the accounts, the central points converge on Delta’s selection of Amazon’s alternative over Starlink and Musk’s public criticism. The outlets differ in emphasis: NDTV focuses on Musk’s warnings and his ongoing criticism, while View From The Wing highlights the alleged internal explanation given by Delta’s CEO and the competitive context of other airlines adopting Starlink’s faster Wi-Fi.
