(May 4): Singapore Airlines Ltd said it will begin rolling out a Starlink broadband service on its flights from 2027, with the system promising faster connectivity than its existing in-flight offering.
The service will be available on SIA’s Airbus SE A350-900 long-haul, A350-900 ultra-long-range, and A380 aircraft, with full deployment expected by the end of 2029, the carrier said in a statement.
Starlink uses a network of low-Earth-orbit satellites designed to provide higher speeds and lower latency than traditional geostationary systems, improving reliability for activities such as streaming and large-file transfers.
SIA joins other major carriers adopting the technology, including Qatar Airways, United Airlines, and British Airways.
