Starlink lands on 500 American Airlines planes…another boost ahead of SpaceX IPO

American Airlines will equip more than 500 Airbus narrowbody jets with Starlink beginning early next year.

The deal expands SpaceX’s in-flight internet push and intensifies competition in satellite connectivity.

Large airline adoption signals real revenue growth for Starlink and strengthens its market position.

It also adds a positive signal for SpaceX ahead of any potential IPO valuation.
