Emirates Airlines has announced a major upgrade to its in-flight connectivity, revealing plans to install Elon Musk’s Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi on all Boeing and Airbus wide-body aircraft. Passengers will soon enjoy superfast internet in every cabin, making it easier to browse, communicate, and stay productive while flying.
The service will first be available on a Boeing 777 starting November 23, with Emirates aiming to equip its entire fleet of 232 aircraft by mid-2027. The airline plans to upgrade around 14 planes each month, ensuring a steady rollout of the new technology. Additionally, the first A380 aircraft with Starlink Wi-Fi is expected to launch in February 2026, further enhancing the passenger experience on Emirates’ flagship model.
With this high-speed connectivity, travelers can expect seamless streaming, real-time messaging, and uninterrupted browsing, whether for work or leisure. Emirates says the upgrade is part of its commitment to providing premium services that match the needs of modern travelers, especially those who rely on constant connectivity.
By partnering with Starlink, Emirates joins a growing number of airlines investing in next-generation satellite internet to transform the in-flight experience. The introduction of Starlink Wi-Fi is expected to set a new benchmark for passenger comfort and productivity, making long-haul flights more enjoyable and convenient.
This initiative reflects Emirates’ strategy to combine innovation with luxury, ensuring passengers remain connected to the world even while soaring at 35,000 feet.
