JetBlue Airways Corp. is set to become the first airline to use Amazon.com Inc.’s Project Kuiper satellite network to power its onboard Wi-Fi, boosting the Seattle giant’s attempt to compete against Elon Musk’s Starlink service.

The airline will begin providing passengers with internet access using Amazon’s satellites in 2027, JetBlue said in a statement on Thursday.
