American Airlines will install SpaceX’s Starlink on every mainline aircraft, covering Airbus narrowbodies, Boeing narrowbodies and widebodies, beginning in early 2027.
The rollout will equip more than 1,000 mainline aircraft with Starlink’s Performance Aero Terminal, delivering speeds up to 1 Gbps per terminal. The airline announced last May that it would install Starlink on more than 500 Airbus aircraft. Its mainline fleet comprises over 1,000 Airbus and Boeing narrowbody and widebody aircraft. American Airlines serves more than 165 million customers on mainline aircraft each year and plans to add more than 300 new mainline aircraft in the coming years.
