American Airlines announced it will equip over 500 narrowbody Airbus aircraft, including new A321XLR and A321neo models, with Starlink inflight Wi-Fi starting in early 2027. This move joins other major airlines like Alaska, Southwest, and United in adopting SpaceX's Starlink technology, known for high-speed, low-latency internet via low earth orbit satellites. The upgrade aims to enhance passenger connectivity and satisfaction, supporting streaming, gaming, and real-time collaboration during flights. American Airlines already offers free Wi-Fi on 1,400 aircraft through AT&T and sees Starlink as a key step to compete with rivals like Delta and United.
