On Friday, United said it had received regulatory clearance to begin using Starlink on the company’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft. ✈️📡 The FAA approved an amendment to apparently modify the Starlink hardware for the jets. The first 737-800 to carry the Starlink Wi-Fi access is slated to take off from Newark/New York on October 15. United also says it’s already installed Starlink “on more than half of the aircraft in its regional fleet.” In May, the satellite internet access started to become available over the company’s Embraer 175 regional jets. To bring Starlink to the rest of its fleet, United says “Starlink continues to secure an FAA STC (supplemental type certificates) to install Starlink on every United aircraft type getting the new equipment – more than 16 total regional and mainline aircraft models.” #starlink #united #FAA #satelliteinternet #technews 📸: Kevin Carter/Getty Images Like what you're reading?
