JetBlue taps Amazon to elevate Fly-Fi connectivity
JetBlue is announced as the first airline customer for Amazon’s Project Kuiper low Earth orbit satellite broadband.
JetBlue will start to install Project Kuiper’s technology on a portion of its fleet in 2027.
It says this will be the ‘next evolution of JetBlue’s Fly-Fi and inflight connectivity,’
“Our agreement with Project Kuiper marks an exciting leap forward for us in onboard connectivity,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue.
Panos Panay, SVP of Amazon Devices & Services, added: “With Project Kuiper, we’re working to ensure customers can enjoy fast, reliable internet at home or 35,000 feet in the air. We’re pumped to bring that to life with JetBlue.”
Project Kuiper offers high-speed, low-latency internet built around a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit—connected to each other by high-speed optical links that will create a mesh network in space.
Amazon has deployed more than 100 satellites to date, and is continuing to increase its production, processing and launch rates.
JetBlue will install Project Kuiper technology on aircraft currently flying JetBlue’s original Fly-Fi technology,
