United announces start of Starlink Wi-Fi connectivity
United Airlines has given an update on its Starlink installation timeline
The airline now expects to begin testing Starlink next month with the first commercial flight anticipated to take off this spring on a United Embraer E-175 aircraft.
United now plans to outfit its entire two-cabin regional fleet by the end of this year and have its first mainline Starlink-enabled plane in the air before the end of this year.
United plans to add Starlink to its entire fleet.
Access will be free for all MileagePlus customers and includes inflight entertainment experiences like streaming services, shopping, gaming and more.
Membership to MileagePlus is also free and people can sign-up now at united.com/starlink.
“We have a lot planned for our MileagePlus members this year and adding Starlink to as many planes as we can is at the center of it all,” said Richard Nunn, CEO of United MileagePlus.
“It’s not only going to revolutionize the flying experience but it’s also going to unlock tons of new partnerships and benefits for our members.”
Last September, United signed an agreement with SpaceX to bring Starlink to its entire fleet.
