Southwest installing Starlink Wi-Fi across fleet
Southwest Airlines is set to add Starlink inflight connectivity across its fleet.
The airline says it plans to ‘rapidly integrate’ Starlink into its fleet with the first Starlink-equipped aircraft entering service this summer.
“Free Wi-Fi has been a huge hit with our Rapid Rewards Members, and we know our customers expect seamless connectivity,” said Tony Roach, EVP, Chief Customer & Brand Officer.
The tech supports inflight entertainment with streaming and live gaming, real-time messaging, and the ability to upload large files in seconds.
“We’re thrilled to deliver a connectivity experience to Southwest Airlines that really is similar, if not better, than what you can experience in your own home,” said Jason Fritch, VP of Starlink Enterprise Sales.
Southwest becomes the fourth major US airline to leverage Starlink technology for inflight connectivity.
Rapid Rewards members get free Wi-Fi connectivity on Southwest flights.
