Delta adds Crunchyroll onboard flights as the airline expands its onboard content. The airline has launched a new partnership with Crunchyroll, the global anime streaming service, enabling access to a curated selection of anime content. Crunchyroll shows will be available on its fleet’s seat-back screens and via Wi-Fi onboard. SkyMiles members can enjoy 24 hours of free access to Crunchyroll’s full catalogue via Delta Sync Wi-Fi at no additional cost.
Crunchyroll Shows
Passengers will find among the featured titles action, romance and dark-fantasy genres. Some of these include Black Clover and its high-energy adventure format, the slice-of-life comedy My Roommate Is a Cat, the romantic comedy Horimiya and the award-winning dark-fantasy epic Solo Leveling (named Anime of the Year at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards). The wide selection spans genres to appeal to both seasoned fans and newcomers to anime.
Other Delta Partnerships
Delta’s move with Crunchyroll adds to their broader strategy of enhancing its in-flight entertainment and cross-platform partnerships. Earlier this year, Delta announced a collaboration with YouTube to offer ad-free creator videos, music playlists and a 14-day YouTube Premium preview. The airline has also partnered up with Uber to allow SkyMiles members to earn miles via rides and delivery, adding to the miles earning opportunities via their partnership with Starbucks.
Final Thoughts
The Crunchyroll tie-in is a cool, culturally current addition to Delta’s onboard entertainment offering. Building off of their already launched partnerships, Crunchyroll will allow anime fans to binge shows on their longer flights. Passengers who have wanted to try out anime may also get a chance to browse some series without the commitment of a Crunchyroll subscription. It reinforces their concept that in-flight entertainment has become a meaningful differentiator.
