Alan Joyce Urges Competition In Satellite-Based In-Flight Wi-Fi
Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has cautioned airlines about the potential risks of over-reliance on Starlink for in-flight Wi-Fi, emphasizing the need for market competition. With Starlink’s rapid adoption by airlines, Joyce believes it is essential for carriers to have the ability to switch satellite-internet services. Airbus is working on a product called HBCplus, which will enable jets to connect to multiple satellite networks simultaneously. This development was reported by an unknown source.
