Elon Musk Warns Delta: “It Will Get Much Worse” Elon Musk has attacked Delta Air Lines over its decision to choose Amazon Leo instead of Starlink for future inflight WiFi, claiming passengers are already choosing competitors because of the decision. Musk said Delta had been warned that flyers would “vote with their feet,” after passengers reportedly said they booked United instead because of WiFi. Delta CEO Ed Bastian has defended the Amazon Leo choice, citing its retail, Amazon Prime and gaming capabilities, while Delta also wants to maintain control of its branded Delta Sync experience. Meanwhile, Starlink is rapidly expanding across the aviation industry. More than 40 airlines have announced Starlink agreements, with more than 1,400 commercial aircraft already equipped worldwide. ✈️ Airlines using or rolling out Starlink include: 🇺🇸 United Airlines 🇺🇸 American Airlines 🇺🇸 Alaska Airlines 🇺🇸 Hawaiian Airlines 🇺🇸 Southwest Airlines 🇺🇸 Frontier Airlines 🇨🇦 Air Canada 🇨🇦 WestJet 🇶🇦 Qatar Airways 🇦🇪 Emirates 🇫🇷 Air France 🇬🇧 British Airways 🇬🇧 Virgin Atlantic 🇪🇸 Iberia 🇩🇪 Lufthansa 🇦🇹 Austrian Airlines 🇨🇭 SWISS 🇧🇪 Brussels Airlines 🇮🇹 ITA Airways 🇩🇰 SAS 🇱🇻 airBaltic 🇳🇿 Air New Zealand 🇸🇬 Singapore Airlines 🇰🇷 Korean Air 🇯🇵 ZIPAIR 🇵🇦 Copa Airlines 🇷🇴 Wizz Air 🇧🇭 Gulf Air 🇦🇪 flydubai 🇲🇦 Royal Air Maroc 🇮🇪 Aer Lingus 🇰🇷 Air Busan 🇰🇷 Air Seoul 🇰🇷 Jin Air 🇫🇷 Transavia/other announced operators Several major airline groups are also rolling Starlink out across multiple subsidiaries, including IAG and Lufthansa Group. Starlink's expansion puts increasing pressure on airlines that choose competing connectivity systems — with Delta becoming one of the most prominent holdouts after selecting Amazon Leo.
