EasyJet Starlink

EasyJet is moving ahead with plans to bring in-flight Wi-Fi to its aircraft using Starlink, marking the airline’s first move to offer onboard internet. The decision follows earlier concerns about the cost of fitting and operating the service. Starlink uses a network of satellites to provide connectivity, and the arrangement would give EasyJet passengers a way to get online during flights rather than relying solely on connections at the airport or after landing.

The planned rollout is expected to begin in 2027, so the service is not an immediate change for travelers. A central question is whether access will be free, paid, or offered through a mix of options; reports highlight that the fare structure has not been established. The costs of installation and service, along with how EasyJet chooses to package connectivity, may shape what passengers ultimately receive. For now, the key development is the airline’s decision to proceed despite previous cost concerns. The move also reflects a broader shift in expectations around connectivity in the air, though the details of coverage, availability across the fleet, and pricing will become clearer as the rollout approaches.
