easyJet has announced that it will offer passengers onboard wifi for the first time from next year, using Elon Musk's Starlink satellite communications system.
The rollout across easyJet's A320 and A321 fleets is expected to begin in the first half of next year and be completed by early 2028.
What the airline says
EasyJet's chief executive Kenton Jarvis said: "In an increasingly digital world, staying connected matters more than ever to many of our customers, whether that's holidaymakers looking to unwind with in-flight entertainment, or our business customers keeping up to speed with what's happening on the ground."
He added: "Innovation is in easyJet's DNA and partnering with SpaceX to bring Starlink's high-speed internet connectivity onboard for the first time will not only further enhance the experience we provide millions of customers, but means we are offering more of the options both business and leisure travellers want when they choose who they fly with."
SpaceX response
Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, said: "We're proud to bring Starlink on board easyJet and transform the way their customers stay connected throughout their travels. Fast, reliable connectivity from take-off to landing means people can work, stream or stay in touch without interruption."
EasyJet carried a total of 100 million passengers in 2025 and is one of Europe's largest airlines.
