Budget airline easyJet has confirmed it will provide WiFi onboard its aircraft from next year after signing a partnership with Starlink.

Starlink's connectivity will be deployed from the first half of 2027 across the British airline’s modern A320, A320neo, and A321neo fleet, with the rollout expected to be completed by early 2028.

The airline becomes the latest to pair with SpaceX subsidiary Starlink. British Airways, American Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Air France are some of the airlines that work with Starlink to provide in-flight WiFi for their passengers.

easyJet carried 100 million passengers last year and has more than 350 aircraft flying on more than 1,200 routes.

No details around pricing were announced by easyJet or whether the service will be free, as it is on many other airlines.

Starlink provides connectivity onboard via its constellation of more than 11,000 satellites.

SpaceX set up a dedicated division for its in-flight connectivity service in 2022 called Starlink Aviation. The company claims that its in-flight WiFi offers latency of less than 99ms, and speeds of up to 500Mbps.
