Starlink Interference Issue on United Airlines

United Airlines fliers can expect in-flight Wi-Fi from Starlink to resume after the company fixed a static interference issue that briefly forced the satellite internet service offline. The interference issue was specific to United’s Embraer E175 aircraft, a smaller passenger jet. Enqvist says the antenna on the Starlink dish was placed too close to another antenna used by pilots to communicate with air traffic controllers, causing interference.The statement also suggests that United might have reinstalled the Starlink dishes further away from the radio antennas. The static interference issue first became public early last month and forced United to shut down the satellite internet service on at least some jets. Is Stralink on the airlines a security risk ?
