"The airline will begin upgrading technology on their planes to move from its existing internet connection to the one provided by Project Kuiper. With Project Kuiper, we're working to ensure customers can enjoy fast, reliable internet wherever they are at home or 35,000 feet in the air and we're pumped to bring that to life with JetBlue, Panos Panay, the senior vice president of Amazon Devices & Services, explained in a statement."
"JetBlue Turns out Starlink isn't the only satellite-based wifi system making inroads with the world's airlines. The last year has seen the Elon Musk-headed company partner with the likes of Air France and United, but JetBlue has gone in a different direction, announcing this week that they'll be working with the Amazon subsidiary Project Kuiper. This will mark an interesting shift for the latter, as this is their first commercial airline partnership."
JetBlue announced a partnership with Amazon's Project Kuiper to bring satellite-based internet to a portion of its fleet beginning in 2027. The airline will upgrade onboard technology to replace its current internet connection with Project Kuiper's system. Project Kuiper intends to provide fast, reliable internet both on the ground and at 35,000 feet. The deal represents Project Kuiper's first commercial airline partnership and gives the subsidiary an opportunity to showcase service to potentially millions of travelers. The move follows other airlines adopting satellite Wi‑Fi, including partnerships between Starlink and carriers such as Air France and United.
