Amazon’s ambitious push into satellite internet is finally nearing a milestone. In his latest annual letter to shareholders, CEO Andy Jassy revealed that Amazon Leo, the company’s answer to Starlink, is slated for a “mid-2026” launch.
While the announcement signals progress, key details around consumer availability remain unclear.
In the letter to shareholders, Jassy noted that the service is already generating traction among enterprise and government clients.
“While Amazon Leo is officially scheduled to launch in mid-2026, we already have meaningful revenue commitments from enterprises and governments,” he wrote, pointing to partnerships with airlines such as Delta and JetBlue, alongside telecom and institutional players including AT&T, Vodafone, DirecTV Latin America, and NASA.
The company has also been quietly testing the system with select enterprise customers since late last year, focusing on delivering high-speed, low-latency connectivity. However, whether everyday users will gain access at launch is still uncertain.
