Swedish audio streaming service Spotify has partnered with United Airlines to provide streaming services on the airline's in-flight entertainment systems. This marks the first time Spotify will offer audiobooks and video podcasts on an airline, according to United Airlines.

The collaboration will introduce over 450 hours of free content across United's fleet of 680 aircraft. Initially, passengers will have access to a limited selection of Spotify content, but starting next year, those with Spotify accounts can connect their personal devices to access their full libraries through the in-flight screens.

United Airlines aims to enhance its in-flight entertainment offerings by integrating fast WiFi services and Bluetooth-accessible screens. Passengers can enjoy over 65 selections from Spotify, including titles such as "Good Hang with Amy Poehler," "The Dave Chang Show," and "The Comment Section with Drew Afualo." The content will be available under a new 'Spotify' category on the home menu.

Travelers on aircraft equipped with Starlink WiFi can stream Spotify content on personal devices from gate to gate. To use this feature, passengers need to log into their MileagePlus account and accept Starlink's terms. Richard Nunn, CEO of MileagePlus, commented: "Spotify has a huge audience and people love their content. And now our customers can enjoy it all in a simple and easy way, at 35,000 feet."

By 2026, United plans for passengers to connect personal devices directly to the in-flight screen for personalized content access. Ian Geller, VP of Business Development at Spotify, expressed enthusiasm about bringing “an even more personalized app streaming experience” onboard next year.

United is also launching an improved in-flight entertainment system featuring flight timelines, menus, gate information, Spanish-language content via ViX channel integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and 4K quality displays.

Additionally, United signed an agreement last September with SpaceX for Starlink integration across its fleet. Installation began earlier this year with plans to equip regional fleets by end-2025 and mainline aircraft by end-2026. Internet access via Starlink is available for MileagePlus members.
