United Airlines is introducing free in-flight Wi-Fi via Starlink starting in 2025. Air France will also implement Starlink on its flights, highlighting increased competition in airline connectivity.
According to Air France's announcement, passengers can access free Starlink Wi-Fi if they log into their Flying Blue loyalty account. However, there may be restrictions based on regulatory issues.
The partnership with Starlink raises questions about how much airlines will save compared to maintaining their own in-flight Wi-Fi systems. The customer service implications also need to be addressed.
As both United and Air France adopt Starlink for Wi-Fi, it signifies a potential shift in airline competition and connectivity strategies, dependent on regulatory contexts.
