Korean Air to Offer Free In-Flight Wi-Fi via Starlink from Sep 15

Korean Air will adopt SpaceX's Starlink satellite network to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi from Sep 15. For Taiwanese who fly Japan, Korea and Northeast Asia routes often, it signals a real upgrade to the flying experience. The point of low-orbit satellite networks like Starlink is turning once-slow, expensive in-flight internet into near-ground speeds — and Korean Air is making it free. When an airline makes 'smooth internet in the air' a standard free service, it raises the stakes in the service war, especially for business travelers. The implication: it will push regional rivals to follow, and free high-speed in-flight Wi-Fi could shift from a perk to a baseline, making connectivity an increasingly real factor when choosing flights. Watch whether other Asian carriers — especially on Taiwan–Japan routes — follow suit.
