Musk’s Starlink Close to Deal With Saudi Arabia’s Flag Airline

Saudi Arabia’s flag carrier airline is in advanced discussions with SpaceX to install the Starlink internet service, in a move that would expand Elon Musk’s footprint in a highly competitive market for onboard wifi, according to people familiar with the talks.

Saudia is finalizing a deal to roll out the service across its fleet of more than 140 aircraft, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.
