Three of the largest U.S. airlines are removing seatback screens from most narrowbody aircraft in their domestic fleets, as reported last week by Bloomberg. American Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska Air are all removing screens from medium-range Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. //

On the other side of the aisle, so to speak, Delta and JetBlue are sticking with on-demand seatback entertainment, at least for now. //

Earlier this year, American Airlines installed satellite connectivity on its entire fleet of domestic narrowbodies and now offers no-buffering, high-speed Wi-Fi and live TV on more aircraft than any other airline. Better yet, the carrier is installing USB power outlets and tablet holders at every seat across its mainline fleet.

And last year, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told Barron’s, “Our goal is to make Wi-Fi free with high-speed quality. It will take another year or two to make that happen.”
