Delta Airline has rolled out a new Fly Delta application feature for iPad and iPhone users to enhanced its functionality.
The application, iPad "Glass Bottom Jet" feature allowed passengers to view the ground below in a unique way that includes maps, social networks and internet content while connected to the Internet on any of Delta's 800 Wi-Fi-equipped domestic United States aircraft.
A statement signed by Delta Airline, Ghana, said: "The application also includes travel planning tools to book a trip, destination guides, flight check-in and an interactive trip map."
It said the launch of the application was part of the rollout of a significantly improved online and digital customer experience including the revamp of delta.com and revamped self-service kiosks now available at airports across the EMEA region.
The statement said Delta's 2013 wine selection would appear in its Business Elite cabin from this February and would represent four continents and also provide Delta customers the opportunity to experience unique flavour profiles to pair with the Business Elite menu that was currently in development by Chef Michelle Bernstein.
The new selections include wines from Italy, Chile, Spain, France, California, Australia, Portugal and South Africa and would be available on Delta flights in the spring which the Business Elite selections undergo an annual evaluation by Delta's Master Mr Sommelier Andrea Robinson, who evaluates and samples more than 1,600 wines from submissions worldwide.
The statement said Mr Robinson considered the complexity and intensity of the wine, aesthetic details of the wine presentation and logistics such as the amount of production necessary to fulfill Delta's needs in her evaluation, adding, "A total of 22 labels were selected and will be profiled throughout the year."
It said Delta would soon begin offering in-flight Internet service on its trans-Atlantic flights, a first for many trans-Atlantic customers which would be a Wi-Fi service to use satellites to provide coverage internationally and also complement the existing air-to-ground service already provided by Gogo for aircraft flying within the domestic United States.
The statement said the international service would use high-bandwidth Ku-band capacity satellites to provide global coverage and when completed in 2015, Delta will operate approximately 1,000 Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft in its worldwide fleet.
Delta Air Lines serves more than 160 million customers each year and operates a mainline fleet of more than 700 aircraft which carriers offer service to nearly 350 destinations in 62 countries on six continents.
