iPhone in Canada: Air Canada Bets on Starlink Rival for In-Flight Wi-Fi Upgrade

France-based Eutelsat has launched its new low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet service for aviation, with Air Canada becoming the first commercial airline to adopt its tech.

The service, powered by UK-based OneWeb’s satellite network, is positioned as a direct competitor to SpaceX’s Starlink, which is already in use by WestJet.

Eutelsat gained access to OneWeb’s LEO constellation through a merger in September 2023. The company says over 100 aircraft are already flying with the service, including both commercial and private jets.

Air Canada is using a multi-orbit setup combining LEO and traditional geostationary (GEO) satellites via Intelsat. Other major carriers are beginning installations, and in business aviation, the service is being added to aircraft through a partnership with Gogo. Textron plans to install the system on its Cessna and Airbus corporate jets.
