(Reuters) – United Airlines said on Sunday it expects to begin testing Elon Musk’s Starlink in February for in-flight internet services, and to first offer the connectivity on a commercial flight operated by Embraer E-175 aircraft this spring.

The airline plans to outfit its entire two-cabin regional fleet by the end of 2025 and have its first Starlink-enabled plane on major routes in the air by the end of the year.
