British Airways has signed a major deal with Starlink to provide every passenger in every cabin Free WIFI.
The airline will start its Starlink roll out in 2026, this is the latest announcement as part the £7bn transformation programme. Once rolled out starlink will be available on LHR & LGW departing aircraft. Cityflyer has not been involved in the roll out.
Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Chairman and Chief Executive described the addition of Starlink connectivity to the BA fleet as a major milestone in the airline’s transformation journey: “We’re continuing to focus on transforming our customer experience. Launching Starlink on both our long-haul and short-haul aircraft is game-changing for us and our customers, elevating their experience on board our flights by offering them seamless connectivity from gate-to-gate. Especially on short-haul, this will really differentiate us from our competitors.”
"With our new Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, our customers will be able to enjoy lightning-fast, low-lag internet from the moment they board to the moment they land - even over oceans and remote regions. It’s Wi-Fi that feels like home, even at 38,000 feet.”
