American Airlines in talks with Starlink and Amazon for Wi-Fi upgrade, weighs return of seatback screens

American Airlines is actively negotiating with SpaceX's Starlink and Amazon to enhance its in-flight Wi-Fi and entertainment offerings, including the possible reintroduction of seatback screens to its narrow-body fleet. This move comes as American faces increasing pressure from competitors like Delta and United, which have long invested in improving their onboard experiences. A decision regarding the seatback screens could be made as early as next month, marking a significant shift in American's approach to in-flight amenities.
