Video / SailGP / Supplied / NZHeraldAir New Zealand says its Starlink internet on planes will redefine domestic travel. Air New Zealand is working with the world’s biggest satellite internet service provider, Starlink, to introduce free internet onboard domestic aircraft. After a successful trial of four to six months, Air New Zealand will roll out Starlink internet on other aircraft in its domestic fleet in 2025. Starlink satellites orbit much closer to Earth at about 550km, and cover the entire globe. Hawaiian Airlines, airBaltic and Qatar Airways are among a growing number of carriers that have installed or committed to Starlink internet.
