Jan ‌29 (Reuters) - EasyJet has held talks with Elon Musk's ‌Starlink about offering on-board Wi-Fi, but the ‌economics do not stack up for the British budget airline at the moment, Chief Executive Kenton Jarvis said on Thursday.

The comments ‍come after a social-media spat ‍between Musk and Ryanair ‌boss Michael O'Leary this month over the cost of ‍fitting ​Starlink's Wi-Fi service.
