STARLINK NOW AVAILABLE ON OVER 1,000 AIRCRAFT: ELON MUSK

Sun 28 July 2024:

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, announced on Thursday that Starlink, the affordable internet service, is now operational on more than 1,000 aircraft. The service ensures passengers stay connected with high-speed internet from the moment they board the plane.

“Using Starlink on a plane feels like you’re on a high-speed ground fibre connection,” Musk stated on the social media platform X.

Musk also noted that Sierra Leone recently became the 100th country—and the 10th African nation—to be connected to Starlink. In May, Starlink launched in Indonesia and Fiji. According to Musk, no long-term contract is required to use the high-speed internet service.

The satellite-based internet service has received preliminary approval from Sri Lanka to provide internet service in the country. However, it is still awaiting approval from the Indian government. The commercial and technical aspects of the service are being reviewed to meet the licensing conditions in India. Once approved, Starlink will be issued a Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) services license, which is necessary to offer satellite communication services in the country.
