Crunchyroll Plans Anime on 169,000 Delta Flights Screens

Delta Air Lines is partnering with Crunchyroll to offer a curated selection of over 2,000 anime titles and 50,000 episodes on more than 169,000 seatback screens and via Delta Sync Wi-Fi across over 900 aircraft starting later in 2025. This marks the first time Crunchyroll has collaborated with a major U.S. airline to integrate anime into in-flight entertainment, reflecting Delta’s commitment to enhancing passenger experience with diverse content. SkyMiles Members who log into Delta Sync Wi-Fi will receive a 24-hour free trial to Crunchyroll’s extensive library, allowing them to stream during the flight or after landing. Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll, emphasized the immersive storytelling of anime as ideal for long flights and encouraged viewers to continue watching on the Crunchyroll app. Delta’s VP of In-Flight Entertainment, Julieta McCurry, highlighted the partnership as part of Delta’s strategy to offer entertainment that aligns with passengers’ interests, whether they are new to anime or longtime fans. Additional details on specific series and films will be announced closer to the launch date.
