Starlink is a satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, Elon Musk's company. It uses a constellation of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access globally. For Lufthansa, this means passengers can get internet on planes that's often faster than what they have at home, even over oceans.
