Starlink wireless internet service is now available on roughly 150 aircraft across Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and Horizon Air.
Alaska Air Group, the parent company of all three airlines, said all of its regional aircraft are now equipped with Starlink, along with about 50 mainline jets. The milestone puts the company ahead of its previously announced rollout schedule.
In another significant development, Alaska Airlines is making Starlink WiFi free for Atmos Rewards members through a sponsorship with T-Mobile. The service is already complimentary on connected Hawaiian flights.
Later this month, Alaska and Hawaiian will introduce an online portal that will allow customers to quickly join Atmos Rewards to take advantage of the enhanced WiFi. There is no fee to join the loyalty program.
Starting in July, Atmos Rewards members will be automatically connected to in-flight wireless internet.
Alaska Airlines expects to have its entire widebody fleet equipped with Starlink by the fall.
