Delta Air Lines chose Amazon's Wi-Fi service over Elon Musk's Starlink, despite Musk's warnings that the decision would worsen passenger experience. Musk publicly predicted Delta CEO Ed Bastian would lose his job over this choice. Meanwhile, United and American Airlines are aggressively courting Delta's top-tier customers by offering better Wi-Fi via Starlink, threatening Delta's premium revenue streams. Delta's stock remains stable, but upcoming earnings reports will reveal if the Wi-Fi dispute impacts customer loyalty and revenue growth.
Delta Air Lines holds a market cap of $54.89 billion and shows a positive price movement of +1.20% as of Oct 02, 2026 16:11 WIB on Pluang. Despite the controversy over Wi-Fi service choices, Delta's stock remains stable with a dividend yield of 1.03%. Competitors United Airlines and American Airlines, with market caps of $36.01 billion and $8.85 billion respectively, are also seeing modest gains, indicating active investor interest in the airline sector amid the ongoing customer loyalty battle.
