United AirlinesUnited Airlines has announced a groundbreaking initiative to introduce Starlink, the world’s fastest and most reliable inflight connectivity, to its global passengers. This move represents a major leap forward for the airline, promising transformative inflight experiences for all travelers.
First Commercial Flight Planned by Spring
United is set to begin testing Starlink next month, with the first commercial flight featuring this advanced service scheduled for spring aboard an Embraer E-175 aircraft. The airline aims to equip its entire two-cabin regional fleet with Starlink by year-end, and its first mainline aircraft featuring Starlink is expected to take off before 2025. Ultimately, the plan is to integrate Starlink across the entire United fleet.
Complimentary Access for MileagePlus® Members
All MileagePlus members will have free access to Starlink’s inflight entertainment, including streaming, online shopping, gaming, and more. The loyalty program, free to join, offers passengers the opportunity to enjoy these premium benefits by signing up at united.com/starlink.
Redefining the Inflight Experience
Richard Nunn, CEO of United MileagePlus, highlighted the transformative potential of Starlink, stating, “We have big plans for our MileagePlus members this year, and rolling out Starlink across our fleet as quickly as possible is a central focus. It’s going to revolutionize flying with United and open up new partnerships and benefits for our members.”
Largest Partnership with SpaceX
In September, United signed the industry’s largest deal with SpaceX to bring Starlink to its fleet. Starting soon, United passengers will experience the same high-speed, low-latency internet in the air as they do on the ground. This gate-to-gate connectivity will be available on both seatback screens and personal devices, offering an unparalleled digital experience in the skies.
