EasyJet says it has partnered with Elon Musk’s Starlink to provide in-flight Wi-Fi for passengers. Multiple outlets frame the move as a significant change for the budget airline’s onboard connectivity strategy.
The coverage also notes that the deal follows EasyJet previously turning down Starlink, with one report saying the airline concluded the service was not economically viable. That earlier decision is used to contextualize the new partnership and the apparent shift in the airline’s assessment.
Some outlets add additional context about public controversy involving Starlink and EasyJet’s competitors, referencing a prior dispute between Musk and the head of Ryanair. Other coverage stays closer to the partnership itself, focusing on the fact that EasyJet is now adopting Starlink Wi-Fi after the earlier refusal.
