Singapore Airlines will introduce Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellite-based broadband service on its Airbus A350-900 long-haul, A350-900 ultra-long-range, and A380 aircraft, starting in the first quarter of 2027.
The rollout will occur progressively and is expected to be completed by the end of 2029. Starlink’s network, with more than 10,000 satellites, uses an Aero Terminal capable of delivering up to 1 Gbps per antenna, providing multi-gigabit connectivity from takeoff to landing.
Passengers across all cabin classes will gain faster and more reliable internet for video streaming, social media sharing, online gaming, and large file transfers. The airline’s existing unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi policy will remain in place on these aircraft. Suites, First Class, and Business Class passengers, along with PPS Club members and KrisFlyer members in Premium Economy and Economy, qualify automatically. Other Economy and Premium Economy passengers can access it by entering KrisFlyer details at booking or check-in, or by signing up for a free account online or via the KrisWorld system onboard.
Current in-flight Wi-Fi on Singapore Airlines flights, excluding Boeing 737-800NGs, does not support streaming apps like Disney+, Netflix, or YouTube and is unavailable for the first 15 minutes after takeoff and before landing. Airlines such as Qatar, Emirates, United, British Airways, Air France, and Virgin Atlantic have also adopted Starlink for in-flight connectivity.
