United Airlines Partners with SpaceX's Starlink to Offer Free In-Flight Wi-Fi by 2025

The airline will begin testing the high-speed satellite internet service early next year, aiming for full fleet rollout in the coming years.

United Airlines has announced a partnership with SpaceX to provide free Wi-Fi on all its flights using Starlink's satellite internet service.
The service will begin testing in early 2025, with the first passenger flights expected later in the year.
Currently, United passengers pay $8 to $10 for in-flight Wi-Fi, but the new service aims to offer a high-speed, broadband experience for free.
Starlink's network of low-Earth orbit satellites promises faster and more reliable internet, capable of supporting streaming services, live TV, and multiple devices.
The Federal Aviation Administration must approve the hardware for United's planes before the service can be fully implemented.
