Alaska Airlines is bringing Elon Musk’s Starlink internet to all its planes as part of a loyalty-program overhaul after merging with Hawaiian Airlines.

The airline announced Wednesday that the high-speed, streaming-quality WiFi will be free for all members of its Atmos Rewards program.

It comes after Hawaiian became the world’s first major airline to deploy the service last February.

Alaska Airlines expects to begin installing Starlink next year and have it fully installed across its fleet in 2027.

“The idea of a game changer is a word I don’t particularly subscribe to, but Starlink, for a business traveler, fundamentally changes your productivity and what you can get done,” Brett Catlin, Alaska’s vice president for loyalty, told Business Insider.
