With Starlink Aviation, SpaceX hopes to install 350 Mbps satellite internet on planes

SpaceX has revealed the official details of its Starlink satellite internet service for aviation, which promises up to 350 Mbps per plane. Delta CEO Ed Bastian admitted earlier this year that the airline conducted “exploratory tests” on its planes using Starlink’s internet technology. Around the same time, Hawaiian Airlines announced that it will begin deploying Starlink internet with “select” aircraft in 2023. Following the launch of Starlink for RVs, the Federal Communications Commission granted the company permission to provide satellite internet services to vehicles.
