Wow. Huge respect. WiFi portals are some of the most annoying things. Starlink would rather give up significant revenue than allow an airline to burden flight customers with portals.
Elon Musk@elonmusk· May 13, 2026@SawyerMerritt @Starlink Not exactly. SpaceX requires that there be no annoying “portal” to use Starlink.
Starlink WiFi must just work effortlessly every time, as though you were at home.
Delta wanted to make it painful, difficult and expensive for their customers. Hard to see how that is a winning

Yes, SpaceX deliberately accepted lower revenue deals with airlines in exchange for making Starlink super easy to use and available to all passengers
