EasyJet to fit Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet

The British budget airline says the rollout will begin across its network in early 2027 and is expected to cover its 300-aircraft Airbus fleet by early 2028. The agreement makes EasyJet the latest major European low-cost carrier to adopt Starlink after Wizz Air.

The move increases pressure on Ryanair, whose chief executive has questioned the business case for onboard Wi-Fi on short-haul flights. Starlink’s lower latency, faster speeds and flatter antenna design are helping to reduce some of the cost and fuel concerns that previously limited connectivity on budget airlines.
