JetBlue becomes the first airline to bring Amazon’s Project Kuiper powered in-flight connectivity to its planes
Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network that aims to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband to underserved communities worldwide. Amazon has deployed more than 100 satellites to date, and is continuing to increase its production, processing, and launch rates.
It is now officially announced that JetBlue has become the first commercial airline in the world to sign on with Amazon’s Project Kuiper, to bring even faster and more reliable connectivity to its popular onboard Wi-Fi known as Fly-Fi.

JetBlue will start to introduce Project Kuiper’s cutting-edge technology on a portion of its fleet in 2027. The aim behind this partnership is to keep customers streaming, scrolling, and sharing with ease from gate to gate and always for free.
“Our agreement with Project Kuiper marks an exciting leap forward for us as the hands-down leader in onboard connectivity,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “Whether it’s binge-watching a favorite show, staying connected with loved ones, or wrapping up a work project, we’re always looking for ways to make our customers’ time in the air as connected and productive as they want it to be.”
“Staying connected is part of everyday life, even when you’re traveling,” said Panos Panay, senior vice president of Amazon Devices & Services. “With Project Kuiper, we’re working to ensure customers can enjoy fast, reliable internet wherever they are—at home or 35,000 feet in the air—and we’re pumped to bring that to life with JetBlue.”
JetBlue will install Project Kuiper technology on aircraft currently flying JetBlue’s original Fly-Fi technology. It is also revealed that JetBlue is positioned to explore a multi-orbit solution in the future as well, so that it could combine the strengths of both its low Earth orbit and GEO networks for even more robust in-flight connectivity.
The airline expects to begin rolling out Project Kuiper’s system in 2027 with a phased rollout to follow.
