In the first quarter of 2025, Starlink – Hawaiian Airlines and Katar Airways – were the airline that used record speeds: up to 276 Mbps and 236 Mbps, respectively.
For comparison, the average internet speed in the Spirit Airlines, which does not use Starlink, was only 84 Mbit/s – up to almost half.
Starlink was also the only provider over 200 Mbps, and the signal delay was only 44 ms, which was 10 times lower than the nearest competitor MTN (667 ms).
The secret of technology is the use of low -close orbit (Leo) satellites that provide a lower delay and faster data transfer. In addition to aviation, Starlink is actively introduced in cruise shirts and remote areas.
