SpaceX included new operational details about Starlink Aviation on United Airlines in its IPO filing. The filing states that 344 United aircraft have been equipped with the service. 7 million devices have connected to the network.

Starlink installation takes about 8 hours, which is roughly 10 times faster than non-Starlink equipment, according to the filing. United Airlines expects three out of every four departures to have Starlink Wi-Fi by the end of 2026 and plans to complete installation on all its dual-cabin aircraft by the end of 2027.

The data covers usage and deployment statistics for the airline's Starlink-equipped fleet.
