- Ryanair RYA.I Chief Executive Michael O'Leary, speaking at a news conference in Lisbon:

  • STARLINK SYSTEM IS VERY CONSISTENT, ONLY AREA OF DISPUTE WITH ELON MUSK IS THAT WE THINK PASSENGERS WILL NOT PAY FOR IT IN THE SHORT TERM

  • WE HAVE, FOR THREE YEARS, BEEN TALKING TO WI-FI PROVIDERS STARLINK, AMAZON WEB SERVICES AND VODAFONE, THE TECHNOLOGY HASN'T QUITE GOT THERE YET

  • ALL OF THEM STILL REQUIRE US TO BOLT ANTENNAE BOXES ON TOP OF THE AIRCRAFT, THAT CREATES FUEL DRAG

  • BELIEVE THAT IN FOUR TO FIVE YEARS, FREE WI-FI WILL BE AVAILABLE ON ALL AIRCRAFT WITH TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS
