Singapore Airlines partners with Starlink to deliver high-speed in-flight Wi-Fi

Progressive rollout will begin in the first quarter of 2027, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2029

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has partnered with Starlink to provide enhanced in-flight Wi-Fi experience to its customers from the first quarter of 2027. Starlink will introduce low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite‑based broadband service on board SIA’s Airbus A350-900 long‑haul (LH), A350-900 ultra‑long‑range (ULR), and A380 aircraft.

With more than 10,000 satellites launched to low Earth orbit, Starlink can deliver multi-gigabit connectivity to aircraft using its Aero Terminal, which can support up to 1 Gbps per antenna. According to the airline, customers in all cabin classes will 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, with SIA’s unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi experience on board Starlink-enabled aircraft.

Yeoh Phee Teik, Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Singapore Airlines, said, “Singapore Airlines already offers the world’s most comprehensive complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi across our entire fleet. Starlink will take this to the next level by delivering next-generation high-speed connectivity, enabling customers to stay entertained, connected, and productive throughout their journey, with a smoother and seamless experience from take-off to landing.”

Jason Fritch, Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales, SpaceX, said, “Customers and crew will soon experience seamless, low-latency connectivity as they travel. Whether flying long-haul or ultra-long-haul distances, Starlink is redefining what is possible for leisure and business travellers alike – making every flight more enjoyable and infinitely more connected.”
