Future Expansion Plans
Looking ahead, Hawaiian Airlines plans to extend Starlink connectivity to its Boeing 787-9 fleet, with installations expected as new aircraft are delivered through 2027. However, the airline does not intend to equip its Boeing 717 aircraft, used for short inter-island flights, with this service.
There are some rules like: Hawaiian Airlines prohibits video or voice calls while onboard our aircraft. So you can’t do video calls even if you have your headset.
