Starlink started providing high-speed, low-latency internet to passengers during flights on the first @flyjsx jet this week!
Starlink will be installed on additional @flyjsx jets in the weeks ahead; so as soon as you walk on your flight, the internet works

The company expects to make the service available elsewhere in Japan before the end of this year.Gut feeling is the gateway might be collocated on KDDI teleport properties in Sendai, judging by the east half of japan mapping. If they had a bit more coverage to the west of Tokyo covering the Mt.Fuji and Shizuoka area, they would be able to cover all the vacation homes up in the hills/mountains with ease. They are also not covering the northwestern end of the Kanto plain which has quite a bit of manufacturing/warehousing, where incumbent fiber optic providers have pricing/availability that some might consider predatory.
