While there is much to critique when it comes to BA, I dint find the lack of progress with Starlink being one. We are party to discussions and don’t know what stage the plans are at. There is also certifications to consider. A quick check of Starlink certifications indicates that none of the aircraft operated by BA or Virgin, have UK CAA certification. Virgin announced before BA and have a smaller fleet, and also haven’t started.

I for one wouldn’t be surprised to see other IAG carriers start before BA based on EASA certifications.
