Starlink Aviation Expands to 15 New Airline Partners

SpaceX’s Starlink Aviation service has expanded to 15 new airline partners, bringing high-speed internet connectivity to hundreds of additional aircraft worldwide.

The satellite-based system delivers speeds up to 350 Mbps, enabling passengers to stream video, attend video calls, and browse without restrictions.

Airline Adoption Growing

Airlines report strong passenger satisfaction with Starlink compared to traditional satellite internet systems. The lower latency makes real-time applications practical at cruising altitude for the first time.

Installation requires a low-profile antenna that adds minimal drag, addressing a key concern for fuel-conscious operators.

Technical Specifications

Each aircraft receives dedicated bandwidth allocation, ensuring consistent performance regardless of passenger count. The system automatically switches between Starlink satellites to maintain connection during flight.

Several airlines now offer complimentary Starlink access to premium cabin passengers, with paid options for economy travelers.
