SpaceX has reached a new milestone in expanding Starlink access to the skies. ✈️ On Thursday, the company reported the satellite internet system is now active on 1,000 planes. SpaceX hit the milestone after Qatar Airways announced it had completed installing the satellite internet system across 54 Boeing 777 aircraft, which feature free in-flight Wi-Fi for all passengers. Other providers including Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, and regional carrier JSX have also been offering Starlink access on their planes. The in-flight Wi-Fi speeds have been beating the competition. An Ookla survey published last month found that both Hawaiian and Qatar Airlines offered the fastest in-flight Wi-Fi compared to other airlines, at over 100Mbps in median download rates. Moreover, United Airlines has told PCMag it expects to install Starlink across its two-cabin regional fleet by the end of the year, despite the interference issue. #starlink #unitedairlines #inflight #technews
