Elon Musk's SpaceX in talks with airlines to provide in-flight Wi-Fi via Starlink
India TodayFaster and reliable internet on aeroplanes is long overdue and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is working towards it. If reports are to be believed, Musk now wants to provide in-flight wifi via Starlink satellite internet service. Musk’s space company SpaceX is reportedly in talks with several airline companies to provide the commuters with in-flight WiFI through the Starlink satellite internet service. SpaceX’s VP of Starlink and commercial sales told a panel at the Connected Aviation Intelligence Summit on Wednesday that the company is working towards providing in-flight wifi to travellers.“We have our own aviation product in development. Although Hofeller did not reveal when Starlink will begin proving in-flight wifi, he said that an announcement is coming “hopefully sooner rather than later.” For the unversed, the airlines currently use satellite broadband providers for inflight Wi-Fi, but the existing services use satellites in distant orbits.
