“CEO Shai Weiss shared that there’s only one solution, to offer free, basically unlimited, streaming-quality connectivity on a plane. It is Starlink. We exist to make our customers smile, it’s that simple, obsessing over finding new ways to delight our guests, delivered by our amazing people. We are investing billions to fly the youngest fleet across the Atlantic.”
