United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said at the Yahoo Finance Invest conference that Wi-Fi is the No. 1 reason people pick flights and the biggest near-term competitive advantage in the airline's 100-year history. The Wi-Fi is SpaceX Starlink: 640+ aircraft equipped (about 3 added per day), over 50% of daily flights covered, 87% by June 2027 and the full fleet by end of 2027. Free for MileagePlus members, multi-device, with 40-200 Mbps speeds.
