In-flight internet is crappy, but more and more airlines think that Starlink is the solution. The latest company to sign with the SpaceX affiliate is Alaska Air Group, which announced that it will start offering Starlink Wi-Fi next year and expand the service to its entire fleet by 2027. „With Starlink already live on [Alaska Air Group subsidiary] Hawaiian Airlines, we’re proud that we’ll offer. gate-to-gate connectivity on nearly every aircraft across both airlines“, CEO Ben Minicucci said in a statement.
The company noted in a separate announcement that it will offer the perk for free to members of its new loyalty program called Atmos Rewards. T-Mobile, a partner with Alaska, will also offer a „seamless, ad-free Wi-Fi log-on“ to the in-flight Starlink service, with more details to be announced later this year.
