"Guam is where two of our biggest customer investments come together," United chief customer officer, David Kinzelman, said. "We said we would replace the entire Guam fleet with MAX 8 aircraft by the end of this year, and we’ve finished early. Now those same aircraft are among the first MAX 8s in our fleet to get Starlink. Starlink is a game changer for our customers, delivering the fast, reliable connectivity they expect, and we’re proud that our Guam-based aircraft are among the first of our MAX 8s to receive it."
