United Signs Starlink Deal to Provide Industry-Leading Connectivity in the Sky

https://www.united.com/en/us/newsroo...kC3J2z-uyutzs0

United today set a new standard of inflight connectivity by signing 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. The new, gate-to-gate connectivity will unlock game-changing experiences in the sky at scale that no other major U.S. airline provides like access to live TV and streaming services, social media, shopping, gaming and more, on seatback screens and personal devices simultaneously.
This is a huge deal! The best part of this announcement is that it'll be free! 2025 can't come soon enough!
