NEW YORK | Tue Aug 5, 2008 2:06pm EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc will soon start rolling out broadband Wi-Fi access for its entire domestic mainline fleet of more than 330 planes, the U.S. carrier said on Tuesday.

The access will cost $9.95 on flights of three hours or less and $12.95 on flights of more than three hours.

"Beginning this fall, our passengers will have the ability to stay connected when they travel with us throughout the continental United States," said Richard Anderson, Delta's chief executive officer.

Delta expects Wi-Fi to be available on all its domestic mainline planes by the summer of 2009.
