(CNN) Delta Air Lines says in-flight versions of the films "Booksmart" and Elton John's biopic "Rocketman" will no longer skip same-sex love scenes.

The scenes on both films were "unnecessarily excluded," the airline said.

Delta Air Lines says it was not aware that some scenes were edited out of the versions of "Rocketman" and "Booksmart" shown on its flights.

"We are immediately putting a new process in place for managing content available through Delta's in-flight entertainment," Delta said in a statement.

The airline's decision comes days after "Booksmart" director Olivia Wilde tweeted she had watched an edited version of her film on a flight and said the words "vagina" and "genitals" and scenes involving lesbian kissing were cut.

Wilde did not mention what airline she was using in her tweets.
