United Airlines SpaceX Starlink WiFi
Hawaiian Airlines was the first to equip their planes with SpaceX’s Starlink, and now, United Airlines is the next big carrier to soon offer the service at no cost to passengers. This means that if the in-flight entertainment system just isn’t cutting it, you’ll be able to play multiplayer mobile games, enjoy live TV, watch streaming services, partake in social media, or even shop 35,000 feet in the air.



With Starlink, United Airlines passengers can access personal streaming services, as well as watch live TV, shows and movies, all without buffering. Need to get some work down? Download or uploading documents and editing shared files can all be done in real-time. The company plans to begin testing in early 2025 with the first passenger flights expected later that year.
