A Starlink terminal installed on a Hawaiian Airlines aircraft. Hawaiian AirlinesPARIS — SpaceX nearly doubled its backlog of Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi orders with last week's United Airlines deal, a company director said Tuesday. Last week, United said it will outfit its more than 1,000 planes with Starlink and won't charge customers for the Wi-Fi. SpaceX has previously announced in-flight deals and has started service with Hawaiian Airlines , Qatar Airways, Japan's Zipair, Latvia's airBaltic and semi-private charter airline JSX.

SpaceX's Starlink will expand internet service to moving vehicles in December. Starlink for RVs costs $135/month. Elon Musk's SpaceX is bringing its satellite-internet service to moving vehicles, the firm announced on Tuesday. The rocket company launched Starlink for RVs in May, but the service only allowed customers to get internet while parked. Starting in December, Starlink for RVs will be able to provide internet service to moving vehicles, too.
SpaceX rolled out aviation-specific Starlink satellite internet service on Tuesday, with Elon Musk's company looking to expand further into the inflight WiFi market. Deliveries to aviation customers are scheduled to "start in mid-2023," the company said, and reservations require a $5,000 initial payment. SpaceX said it is seeking Federal Aviation Administration certificates for a variety of aircraft, most of which are typically owned and operated as private jets. As for the quality of the service, SpaceX says Starlink aviation customers can expect speeds up to 350 Megabits per second, "enabling all passengers to access streaming-capable internet at the same time." But the company's aviation service does not require a long-term contract, with SpaceX saying "all plans include unlimited data" and the "hardware is under warranty for as long as you subscribe to the service."
WASHINGTON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's SpaceX is expanding its satellite internet unit's foray into in-flight WiFi services with the rollout on Wednesday of Starlink Aviation, offering customers a $150,000 airplane antenna amid mounting competition for airborne connectivity. Starlink, SpaceX's growing network of thousands of internet satellites, will charge customers seeking broadband internet on private jets between $12,500 to $25,000 a month for the service, on top of a one-time $150,000 hardware cost, the company said on its website. Starlink Aviation will begin delivering terminals in mid-2023, it said on its website, with reservations requiring a $5,000 payment. OneWeb on Tuesday announced an agreement with in-flight broadband giant Panasonic Avionics, which offers service to some 70 airlines, to market and sell OneWeb's broadband service to airlines by mid-2023. SpaceX plans to offer Starlink internet connectivity to Hawaiian Airlines planes next year.
Starlink Aviation will be available next year for $12,500-$25,000 per month. Starlink Aviation promises to bring impressive speeds, up to 350 megabytes-per-second, to the skies starting in 2023. Starlink Aviation positions itself as a superior alternative to notoriously subpar in-flight internet. Today planes get internet service from cell towers they fly over or from satellite-based services like Viasat. Cruise giant Royal Caribbean in August tapped Starlink to add internet service to its fleet.
