American Airlines and AT&T are partnering to provide travelers with free inflight Wi-Fi “on more planes than any other domestic carrier.”

The two companies ran a limited test on select routes, providing an opportunity to confirm the viability of the program. Following the test’s success, the two companies are moving forward with deployment. American Airlines plans to offer the service on 90% of its fleet by January 2026.

“Our customers greatly value staying connected while in the air, whether communicating with friends, getting work done, checking in on social media or streaming their favorite subscription services,” said Heather Garboden, Chief Customer Officer, American Airlines. “We’ve been working diligently to outfit our aircraft with best-in-class high-speed Wi-Fi and together with AT&T are proud to offer those services at no cost to our most loyal customers.”

“People want to be connected. Everywhere. All the time. Whether it’s staying in touch with those who matter most, following a favorite sports team or catching up on that show everyone is talking about, connectivity brings people a world of possibilities. By advancing connectivity, everything becomes more immediate and accessible anywhere they go,” said Jenifer Robertson, EVP & GM Mass Markets, AT&T. “We are proud to partner with American Airlines to connect people to what matters most to them — even in the sky.”

“This was a natural partnership in every aspect: two iconic Texas-based brands, known for innovation and connection,” added Garboden.

American Airlines clarifies that the complimentary inflight Wi-Fi will be available to AAdvantage loyalty program members.
