xCruzo Brief

More airlines are adopting Starlink satellite Wi‑Fi, with Starlink saying it is already used on over 200,000 flights worldwide. Because deployments vary by carrier and rollout stage, the article advises passengers to check before booking if onboard high-speed internet matters. In North America, Alaska, United, Southwest and WestJet are adding it, while internationally airlines including Lufthansa, Swiss, Emirates, Qatar Airways, SAS, airBaltic, Aer Lingus, Air France and British Airways offer it on some flights. Third-party trackers such as Starlink Flights and Stardrift can help, but may lag behind updates. The report notes that, by October 2026, only a few airlines are fully complete: Hawaiian on all Airbus planes, Alaska on Horizon Air, and ZipAir Tokyo on its fleet of Boeing 787‑8s (rolled out fully in May). It also cites progress estimates for WestJet, Qatar, Air France, Emirates, and SAS, with plans for Qatar to complete 787 installations by end of 2026.
