Starlink Connectivity Coming to United Airlines

United announced today a major upgrade to its inflight connectivity by signing the an agreement with SpaceX to bring Starlink’s fast, reliable Wi-Fi service to the airline’s mainline and regional aircraft fleet.

United customers will soon enjoy the same high-speed, low-latency internet service in the air that they enjoy on the ground. The new, gate-to-gate connectivity will give passengers the ability to stay connected and enjoy their journey with access to live TV and streaming services, social media, shopping, gaming and more, on seatback screens and personal devices simultaneously.

United expects to have Starlink on all its aircraft over the next few years, and that includes more than 1,000 planes. Testing begins in early 2025 with the first passenger flights expected later that year.

But it gets even better. United Airlines says that Starlink service on its aircraft will be free.

Starlink is a satellite internet service that uses a network of satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet access to users around the world, including over oceans, polar regions and other remote locations previously unreachable by traditional cell or Wi-Fi signals.
