Summary

American Airlines is upgrading its inflight Wi-Fi by installing Starlink satellite service on around 500 of its single-aisle planes, starting early next year. This move follows the airline’s decision to make Wi-Fi free for most passengers earlier this year. American joins other US carriers, such as Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines, in upgrading their Wi-Fi technology. The new service will offer faster browsing speeds, but it’s unclear how long the rollout will take.
