## Key points

- Starlink is available on only some flights for most airlines.
- Aircraft type and route can affect availability.
- Rollout trackers offer estimates, not guarantees.

## Summary

Airlines are adding Starlink satellite Wi-Fi at different speeds, so travellers may need to check whether their particular flight has it before booking. More than 200,000 flights worldwide are using the service, but airline-wide availability remains limited and installation varies by aircraft.

As of October 2026, Hawaiian has Starlink on all its Airbus aircraft, Alaska has completed the rollout on Horizon Air regional flights, and ZipAir has fitted its entire eight-plane Boeing 787-8 fleet. WestJet and Qatar are among the carriers with substantial but unfinished rollouts; Qatar says it has equipped more than 150 Boeing 787s and plans to finish fitting its 787 fleet by the end of 2026. Third-party trackers can help estimate availability, though they may be out of date; some airline booking sites show Wi-Fi without specifying whether it is Starlink.
