JetSmart Airlines SpA operates as JetSMART, a South American ultra low-cost carrier backed by Indigo Partners (Frontier, Volaris, Wizz). Frontier’s Starlink rollout on JetSMART’s industry is in focus as Starlink expands across flights; JetSmart remains a key regional player in affordable air travel.
A series of incidents on flights and at airports have prompted scrutiny over safety protocols. A Delta crewmember reports a passenger touching her; a Houston man delays a flight by impersonating a passenger; and a Buenos Aires passenger bites a police officer during boarding disputes. Reports also describe a tanker of past incidents and ongoing investigations.
Frontier Airlines plans to equip its first Airbus with Starlink internet in early 2027, joining Indigo Partners’ Wizz Air and Volaris in a broader push toward high‑speed onboard connectivity. Starlink will offer gate‑to‑gate HD streaming and online gaming as part of a wider rollout across more than 1,000 aircraft.
