easyJet to Equip Fleet With Starlink Satellite Internet
Passengers on easyJet flights will soon access high-speed internet as the budget airline joins the growing list of carriers integrating SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network. The rollout, set to begin in the first half of next year, will bring ground-level connectivity speeds to the carrier’s Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft.
This partnership marks another expansion for SpaceX, which recently reported that its service is active on more than 3,800 aircraft. EasyJet joins a competitive field of major carriers, including American Airlines, Southwest, and United, all of which have secured similar agreements. Within Europe, the trend is accelerating as well, with IAG subsidiaries such as British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling, alongside Air France and Lufthansa, already moving to integrate the technology into their operations.
