United signs Starlink deal to provide industry-leading connectivity in the sky for free.
United signed the industry’s largest agreement of its kind with SpaceX to bring Starlink’s fast, reliable Wi-Fi service to the airline’s mainline and regional aircraft fleet, for free.
United customers will soon enjoy the same high-speed, low-latency internet service in the air that they enjoy on the ground.
United expects to have Starlink on all United aircraft – more than 1,000 planes – over the next several years. Testing begins in early 2025 with the first passenger flights expected later that year.
Starlink service on United aircraft will be free.
In addition to using Starlink connectivity on personal devices, United customers also will have access on their seatback screens.
