The Lufthansa Group has partnered with Starlink to bring Starlink free in‑flight internet to its entire fleet of around 850 aircraft starting in the second half of 2026, with complete rollout by 2029. The satellite broadband service will offer high‑speed, low‑latency connectivity that passengers can use for streaming, work, and communication, free for status and Travel ID users across all cabin classes, marking a major advancement in global inflight internet.

Starlink free in-flight Wi-Fi is now available across about 120 Qatar Airways widebody aircraft, offering passengers ultra-high-speed internet access that often surpasses home broadband performance. The airline has become the first globally to equip Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners with Starlink and completed comprehensive rollouts on Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 fleets. Since October 2024, more than 11 million passengers have used the complimentary service, demonstrating Starlink’s growing impact on global in-flight connectivity.

Air France is rolling out Starlink-powered high-speed Wi-Fi across its aircraft, starting with 30 percent of the fleet by the end of 2025 and aiming for full coverage by the end of 2026. The service — free for passengers and accessible via Flying Blue account login — will allow high-quality internet activities at cruising altitude, including streaming, work, video calls, and online gameplay.
