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

The airline plans to fully equip its two-cabin regional fleet by the end of 2025 and have the first Starlink-equipped aircraft on major routes in the air by the end of the year.
