On Tuesday, the Texas airline said it will begin rolling out free, high-speed WiFi on more than 1,400 mainline narrowbody and dual-class regional aircraft. By early spring, nearly every American flight - including new Boeing 787s serving long-haul international routes - will offer the service. American said this will make it the airline with free WiFi on more planes than any other carrier in the world.

Elon Musk's Starlink has gained yet another airline customer as the ultra-high-speed WiFi service continues to gain popularity. On the first day of this month's Dubai Airshow, Emirates announced that Starlink will be available for free, starting November 23. Business Insider previously tested Starlink on Qatar Airways' first flight with it last October. The connection speed peaked at 215 megabits per second, more than enough for a lag-free video call, and faster than many cable-based internet services.
