Airlines* connecting to Amazon Leo now know what the antenna will look like. The company unveiled details this week, in parallel with the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2026 conference in Hamburg, Germany,
Designed to deliver Gigabit performance in a compact package (full duplex: 1Gbps down, 400Mbps up), the solution adds superior environmental performance standards to the core technology of Amazon’s in-house developed antenna hardware.
Amazon shares that the antenna measures 58 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 2.6 inches high (147 by 76 by 6.6 centimeters). Those dimensions are on par with a typical Starlink terminal (with double the performance) as well as the ThinKom Nexus antenna also announced this week. It also includes an integrated modem in the installation package.
The company also says installations are “streamlined” and expected to be completed in one day.
* JetBlue and Delta Air Lines signed commitments for the service so far. Presumably others will follow.
