Israeli flag carrier EL AL has signed an agreement with Starlink to bring high-speed satellite internet to its entire fleet. The rollout is expected to begin in 2027 and will cover approximately 50 aircraft (including the airline’s Boeing 787s, Boeing 777s, and Boeing 737s).
EL AL CEO Dina Ben Tal Ganancia described the partnership as a significant step forward for the airline. It will enable passengers to stream content, work remotely, and stay connected through live communications throughout their journeys. The service is expected to be offered free of charge to passengers.
Powered by Starlink, the system can deliver internet speeds of up to 500 Mbps, substantially outperforming many traditional inflight Wi-Fi solutions. The technology has quickly gained popularity across the aviation industry, with more than 40 airlines worldwide already adopting the service.
The announcement has generated excitement among frequent travelers, particularly those flying long-haul routes between Israel, North America, and Europe, where reliable internet access has become an increasingly important part of the passenger experience.
Anthony’s Take: Once installed, EL AL will join a growing list of carriers like United Airlines, Copa Airlines, SAS, American Airlines, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Wizz Air, Virgin Atlantic, Southwest Airlines, and others that are betting that fast, reliable connectivity will become as essential to travelers as onboard entertainment and power outlets.
