Singapore Airlines selects Starlink to deliver high-speed, next-generation in-flight Wi-Fi | News
Singapore Airlines (SIA) customers will enjoy an enhanced in-flight Wi-Fi experience from the first quarter of 2027, with the gradual introduction of Starlink’s satellite-based Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband service on board SIA’s Airbus A350-900 long-haul (LH), A350-900 ultra-long-haul (ULR) and A380 aircraft.
With more than 10,000 satellites launched into low Earth orbit, Starlink can deliver multi-gigabit connectivity to aircraft using its Aero Terminal, which can support up to 1 Gbps per antenna. This means customers in all classes of travel can enjoy faster, smoother and seamless connectivity from take-off to landing, for activities such as video streaming, sharing content on social media, gaming and sending large files.
Customers in Suites, First Class, Business Class, PPS Club members, as well as KrisFlyer members traveling in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, continue to enjoy SIA’s unlimited free Wi-Fi experience onboard Starlink-enabled aircraft[1].
Mr Yeoh Phee Teik, Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Singapore Airlines, said: “Fast, seamless connectivity is an essential part of the travel experience today. Singapore Airlines already offers the world’s most comprehensive free inflight Wi-Fi across our entire fleet. Starlink will take this to the next level by delivering next-generation high-speed connectivity, allowing customers to stay entertained, connected and productive throughout their entire journey, with a smoother and seamless experience from take-off to landing.”
Mr. Jason Fritch, Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales, SpaceX, said: “We are excited to bring Starlink onboard Singapore Airlines. Customers and crew members will soon experience seamless, low-latency connectivity as they travel. Whether flying long or ultra-long haul, Starlink redefines what is possible for leisure and business travelers alike – making every flight more enjoyable and infinitely more connected.”
