"Were thrilled to provide reliable high-speed internet on Alaska Airlines' flights," said Chad Gibbs, Vice President of Starlink Operations at SpaceX. "From gate to gate, Alaska's passengers will now experience the world's best inflight connectivity."

Alaska Airlines has unveiled a raft of new benefits alongside Hawaiian Airlines, such as a combined loyalty program and Starlink connectivity on future flights.

Unlike many of its rivals, Alaska Airlines is giving members of its new loyalty program a choice on how they earn rewards points.
