United Airlines is speeding up its timeline for connecting its fleet to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite network that provides high-speed internet around the globe.
The airline expects to begin testing Starlink in February with the first commercial flight anticipated in the spring on a United Embraer E-175 aircraft, used for regional flights. United plans to outfit its entire two-cabin regional fleet, about 200 planes, with the service by the end of 2025.
And United anticipates seeing its first Starlink-connected mainline aircraft take off before the end of the year.
