Overview
- The program launched Jan. 6 and initially covers mainline narrowbodies and dual‑class regional jets, with sign‑in through the aainflight.com portal.
- AT&T is sponsoring the offering, and connectivity on eligible aircraft is provided by Viasat and Intelsat/SES satellite systems.
- American plans to switch all narrowbodies and two‑class regionals to free access by the end of January and reach nearly every flight by early spring, including select new 787s.
- Widebodies that use Panasonic equipment, including many 777s, will continue to offer paid Wi‑Fi until retrofits occur.
- American says 73% of its two‑cabin regional fleet is already upgraded and projects roughly 90% fleet coverage with free Wi‑Fi once the phased rollout is complete.
