Starting next year, Air France will roll out an ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi for a “ground-like” experience while in the air. This will be free for all passengers once it’s available across the airline’s fleet.
Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet across the globe. It’s the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit and it delivers broadband internet that makes streaming, online gaming, video calls, and more possible. Starlink is operated by SpaceX and it’s about to change in-flight Wi-Fi. Starlink delivers internet access over oceans, polar regions, and other remote locations that previously did not offer Wi-Fi signals.
Air France is not the first airline to announce that it’s adding Starlink to its aircraft. airBaltic, Air New Zealand, Hawaiian Airlines, JSX, Qatar Airways, and Zipair all have plans to partner with Starlink. The largest carrier with plans for this free, high-speed Wi-Fi to be installed is United Airlines. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how United will install Starlink on more than 1,000 planes over the next few years.
Anthony’s Take: I cannot wait for Air France, United, and others to install Starlink and provide a fast, free, and reliable connection in the skies.
