United Continental Holdings Inc. is dropping the fee to watch DirecTV live television and films on jets equipped with the service.
Free television will now be available on 211 of United’s Boeing Co. single-aisle 737s, United said in a statement Wednesday. Like most of its rivals, the airline also offers free streamed content across its fleet even as many carriers continue to provide seat-back video screens.
