Airplanes probably don't care much one way or the other.
Ask a pilot though...

It would make more sense if the lasers are between
balloons/drones, not to earth stations (and certainly not to end
users).
One would also think if communications drones are the next big
thing, they would go the way of communications towers and even
satellites. Where one company owns them, and then rents out
space. Remember when 5 cellular companies would all build their
own towers right next to each other?
On the other hand, this might conflict with the idea of doing it
on the cheap and basically giving away Internet to get eyeballs.

How is that different from FSO? FSO has always had problems
with anything beyond a 1/4 mile or so. Fog is not friendly to

It says nothing and has some stock photos of lasers. But
132,000+ already like it. And the news aggregators are
picking it up.

Sounds like a TED talk. How to get Internet to the whole
world. Get a bunch of money, hire some really smart people,
and tell them to launch balloons with frickin’ laser beams
attached to their heads. Enjoy.
