United Airlines announced Friday it has reached an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX to add Starlink Wi-Fi service to all its planes, at no cost to passengers.
United Airlines reached a deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX to provide free Wi-Fi service on all its planes through SpaceX subsidiary Starlink, a broadband satellite service. The airline said on Friday it plans to begin adding Starlink's high-speed internet to planes starting next year and will add it to its entire fleet of more than 1,000 aircraft in the coming years, in what it says is the largest deal of its kind in the industry.
Everything you can do on the ground, you'll soon be able to do onboard a United plane at 35,000 feet, just about anywhere in the world," United CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement. "This connectivity opens the door for an even better inflight entertainment experience, in every seatback – more content, that's more personalized. United's culture of innovation is, once again, delivering big for our customers.
