Virgin Atlantic Airways has signed a deal with SpaceX's Starlink to upgrade the onboard Wi-Fi system across its entire fleet, becoming the first UK airline to partner with Elon Musk's company. Installation will begin next year, with a completion target of 2027. Free service will be available for Flying Club members. The airline will also refurbish its Boeing 787 cabins, enhancing premium seating. Despite some recent softness in US demand, UK demand remains strong, suggesting growth potential for premium travel options.
Right now, there's only one solution. It is Starlink.
There's a fundamental demand for premium travel. We believe we have a tremendous amount of growth.
The service will be free for Flying Club members to use across multiple devices.
Weiss declined to say how much the deal was worth, adding that it was 'a lot.'
