On the news front, global satellite internet has begun aviation network cooperation. Internationally, American Airlines plans to install SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service on more than 500 narrow-body aircraft starting in early 2027. Musk stated that if SpaceX's Starlink satellite network continues to develop, it could eventually carry most of the internet traffic, envisioning the system as the main backbone for online connectivity—Starlink V3 satellites will significantly increase downlink capacity from 96Gbps per satellite in V2 to 1024Gbps. SpaceX is pushing forward with its largest IPO in history, targeting a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, which is expected to break the $29 billion financing record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019. At this critical juncture, American Airlines announced a service agreement with SpaceX for Starlink, which not only endorses the strength of Starlink technology but also reflects SpaceX's strategic intent to accelerate its capture of the high-value B-end market ahead of its IPO. Domestically, airlines are increasingly turning to Starlink to improve the intermittent in-flight internet service. Southwest Airlines also stated earlier this year that it plans to equip more than 300 aircraft with Starlink internet by the end of 2026, with the first aircraft equipped with this service expected to be operational this summer. In addition, Shanghai is vigorously promoting the integrated development of satellite internet and intelligent connected vehicle industries, with an expected 670,000 vehicles equipped by 2029. Huaxi Securities' research report indicates that the current commercial space sector is experiencing intensive catalysts, and the progress of commercial rocket IPOs means that the capital market is beginning to reassess rocket assets based on reusable technology milestones, engineering delivery capabilities, and constellation demand. The industrial chain configuration should shift from conceptual flexibility to orders, mass production, and cost reduction realization.
