The airlines switching to Elon Musk’s Starlink - AeroTime
Which airlines are planning to offer Starlink-based internet connectivity onboard?

Starlink, the satellite-based broadband service provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is taking the world by storm.
This system has already proven its value on the frontlines in Ukraine where, political controversies aside, it has performed as expected from a technical point of view.
Starlink uses a constellation of thousands of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which are satellites that spin around the planet relatively close to its surface, in order to provide wireless internet connectivity anywhere at speeds comparable, or even superior, to that of land-based fiber optic.
Airplanes and ships remain some of the few places in the world where fast and cheap internet cannot be taken for granted. But this may be about to change thanks to the extensive broadband access afforded by this SpaceX subsidiary.
With its download speeds of 350 Mbps or more, Starlink is likely to soon become a game changer when it comes to the air travel experience.
But it is not for nothing that several airlines have already announced that they intend to roll out high speed internet for free before the year is over.
AeroTime has compiled a list of airlines that have announced plans to install Starlink connectivity.
