Briefing
WestJet’s 100‑aircraft milestone quantifies fleet‑scale adoption of SpaceX’s Starlink for narrowbodies and establishes a new benchmark for in‑flight connectivity deployment; this is a measurable indicator of IFC market momentum (see other high‑install milestones: https://hype.aero/?story=8ba023da-3c05-4f46-a81c-e2b0c9ec13fb).
The TELUS‑Starlink rollout expands high‑speed satellite broadband across North American single‑aisle operations, occurring alongside regulatory progress such as FAA approval activity for Starlink‑fitted 737s: https://hype.aero/?story=7f014e4b-1a0c-4a95-a85a-2e19d8903b23.
