Tracking United Airlines aircraft with Starlink WiFi
United Airlines began equipping its fleet with SpaceX's Starlink internet on March 7, 2025. The ultra-fast WiFi offers speeds up to 250 Mbps—50 times faster than previous systems. The airline plans to install Starlink on over 40 regional aircraft monthly, completing its entire two-cabin regional fleet by the end of 2025. Each installation takes only 8 hours, making it 10 times faster than previous systems, and the lightweight 85-pound equipment improves fuel efficiency compared to older 300-pound systems.
