That includes hundreds of movies, TV shows, songs and 18 live satellite TV channels that can be watched on a seat-back screen or streamed on a passenger's personal device.
Other carriers like JetBlue and Virgin America have long offered TV on board, but Delta says it is the first to offer this much in-flight entertainment for free.
Delta's announcement comes following last month's report showing that U.S. airlines made record amounts of money in 2015.
