Aircraft report ‘static interference’ with Starlink.
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2025 – United Airlines temporarily shut off Starlink Wi-Fi connections on two dozen aircraft.
United told Broadband Breakfast that “United and Starlink teams are working together to address a small number of reports of static interference during the operation of the Wi-Fi system.”
United said that it “is fairly common” to have problems with new Wi-Fi networks, and will be flying those planes without Wi-Fi while waiting for the problem to be solved.
Regardless of the problem, United reported to Broadband Breakfast: “We are still on track to have Starlink available on our full two-cabin regional fleet by the end of the year.”
No further comment has been made by Starlink.
