西南航空2027年秋全机队装星链 美联航已逾635架上线并推出查询工具
美国西南航空宣布，将在2027年秋季前为全机队安装 SpaceX 的星链（Starlink）机上互联网，并预计成为首家完成全机队部署的美国大型航空公司。其首架星链飞机已于6月22日投入运营；西南航空首席客户与品牌官 Tony Roach 10月15日对业内媒体表示，目前已有47架飞机完成连接，公司此前定下的目标是2026年底前超过300架。星链 Wi-Fi 将通过 T-Mobile 合作向 Rapid Rewards 会员免费提供。
美联航同日表示，星链已覆盖其近半数每日航班、超过635架飞机，并上线「Starlink Tracker」查询工具，乘客可提前最多三天查看自己的航班是否配备星链。
两家公司的动作显示，星链正从单机试点进入美国主流航司的规模化部署阶段，机上联网速度与免费模式成为航司争夺乘客的新变量。
星链的航空业务建立在其低轨卫星星座之上；SpaceX 尚未公布航空板块的独立财务数据。

Southwest to Take Starlink Fleetwide by Fall 2027; United Passes 635 Aircraft and Launches Tracker
Southwest Airlines says it will install SpaceX's Starlink in-flight internet across its entire fleet by fall 2027 and expects to be the first major U.S. airline to finish a fleetwide rollout. Its first Starlink jet entered service on June 22. Tony Roach, Southwest's chief customer and brand officer, told industry media on October 15 that 47 aircraft are now connected, against a target set earlier this year of more than 300 by the end of 2026. Starlink Wi-Fi will remain free for Rapid Rewards members through a T-Mobile partnership.
The same day, United Airlines said Starlink is available on nearly half of its daily departures, covering more than 635 aircraft, and launched a Starlink Tracker that lets passengers check up to three days ahead whether their flight is equipped.
The two announcements mark Starlink's move from single-aircraft trials into scaled deployment at major U.S. carriers, with connection speed and free access becoming new competitive variables for passengers.
Starlink's aviation business runs on its low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation. SpaceX has not disclosed separate financial figures for the aviation segment.
