American Airlines to Offer Starlink Internet on Flights -- WSJ

Dow Jones

05/26

By Alison Sider

American Airlines is the latest airline to tap Starlink to provide speedy internet service in the skies.

The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier said Tuesday it plans to install the service on more than 500 single-aisle Airbus planes starting early next year -- a significant portion of its fleet.

Fast, free Wi-Fi has become a must-have in-flight amenity for passengers in recent years. Starlink, the service operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, has become a dominant provider for airlines. It has signed up customers including United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Alaska Air Group.

American said that starting the Starlink offering with a subset of its narrow-body fleet, including new deliveries of its A321neo and A321XLR jets, is the quickest way to roll it out to customers.

The airline began offering free Wi-Fi to members of its loyalty program using other satellite-internet providers earlier this year, sponsored by AT&T. The Starlink service will also come at no additional charge to AAdvantage program members.

Starlink, which provides internet connections via about 10,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, has become a major revenue driver for SpaceX. Delta Air Lines recently announced plans to use Amazon's nascent Leo satellite-internet business to provide Wi-Fi on a portion of its fleet.
