American Airlines to Add Starlink Wi-Fi on 500+ Jets Starting 2027

American Airlines will equip over 500 narrowbody aircraft with Starlink satellite internet beginning in Q1 2027, starting with new Airbus A321 models. Starlink's low-orbit satellites deliver faster speeds and lower lag than older geostationary systems, bringing in-flight connectivity closer to home broadband performance. The rollout responds to rising passenger demand for reliable connectivity on domestic flights.
