Eutelsat’s Air Canada WiFi: A Starlink Competitor Takes Flight
Eutelsat, a European competitor to Starlink, has commenced providing in-flight Wi-Fi to commercial and corporate aircraft, including Air Canada. The company boasts a substantial backlog of over 1,000 aircraft installations. This service offers an alternative to Starlink, particularly amidst concerns regarding Musk’s political influence and the potential for service disruptions. While Eutelsat utilizes SpaceX for some satellite launches, its service is gaining traction as a more politically stable option.
