United Airlines CEO says it has more Starlink flights than the rest of the US airline industry combined, with about half of its departures already on Starlink and the whole fleet done by the end of 2027 Starlink is now a “motivating factor” in which airline people fly, so United launched a new tracker to show which flights have it. “You’ve heard me say in the past that hope is not a strategy. Instead, we’re focused on things we can control, and those are the big investments we’ve made over the past several years in products, service, and technology." "And one of those things is Starlink, a new and truly differentiating RASM tailwind in 2027." "Today, about half of United departures are on Starlink-equipped aircraft, and we offer more Starlink flights than the entire U.S. airline industry combined." "We currently expect to reach 61% of departures by the end of 2026, 87% by June 1st, and available fleet-wide by the end of 2027." "Importantly, we’re also seeing evidence that Starlink is a motivating factor for customers to choose which airline they fly. That’s why we launched a new tracker so people can check if their flight has it and can follow along as we outfit our fleet.”
