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.
United Airlines passengers could have access to Starlink-enabled Wi-Fi as soon as this spring.
The company first announced a deal inked with Elon Musk’s Starlink in September, promising customers that it would offer “fast, reliable Wi-Fi service” on its mainline and regional aircraft fleet for free.
On Sunday, the company said it had accelerated its planned timeline. Testing is set to begin next month, followed by a rollout that will have United’s two-cabin regional fleet outfitted with Starlink and the first Starlink-enabled plane flying on major routes before the end of the year. United said it will eventually add Starlink to its entire fleet.

Have you ever wondered how fast our brains work? Well, scientists have recently quantified the brain’s speed limit. They revealed that from sensory organs, the brain processes signals at only about 10 bits per second.
This speed is millions of times slower than the input rate, as the human body’s sensory systems gather data about the surrounding environment at a rate of a billion bits per second.
