World's Best Airlines for In-Flight Wi-Fi Revealed, With Only One British Carrier Making the List

Qatar Airways has been named the world’s best airline for in-flight Wi‑Fi in the 2026 Skytrax World Airline Awards. The rankings were based on feedback from more than 24.8 million travellers who assessed over 300 airlines between September 2025 and August 2026. Qatar took top spot for smooth, reliable connectivity and operates the world’s first and largest Starlink-equipped widebody fleet, with connectivity available for more than 25 million passengers globally. Delta Air Lines placed second, using T‑Mobile to provide fast, free Wi‑Fi across nearly 1,200 aircraft. United Airlines was third, with Wi‑Fi on most flights and Starlink for eligible members; on many U.S. routes without Starlink, prices are $8 for MileagePlus members and $10 for others. Alaska Airlines ranked fourth with Starlink across its network, followed by budget carrier jetBlue, which offers free high-speed Wi‑Fi at every seat on its fleet.
