ELON MUSK'S STARLINK IS DOMINATING IN-FLIGHT WIFI. HERE'S WHICH AIRLINES HAVE IT — AND HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR PLANE DOES.
From United Airlines and Emirates to British Airways and Air New Zealand, Elon Musk's Starlink is gaining popularity across global airlines.
In its 2025 Progress Report, Starlink said more than 1,400 commercial planes worldwide have been equipped with the ultra-high-speed internet. Over 40 commercial carriers have announced deals.
All airlines that offer Starlink do so free of charge, although some require passengers to sign up for their loyalty programs.
Business Insider previously tested Starlink on Qatar Airways' first flight with Starlink in October 2024. The connection speed peaked at 215 megabits per second, more than enough for a lag-free video call, and faster than many cable-based internet services.
Starlink operates thanks to a constellation of nearly 11,000 satellites, enabling internet connectivity in remote locations, including over oceans. The satellites are in low-earth orbit, which means faster internet speeds, but they can also disrupt astronomy.
