El Al Plans Starlink Wi-Fi Rollout for 2027
El Al says it plans to add SpaceX’s Starlink internet service across its fleet, with the rollout expected to begin in 2027. The move would give passengers access to faster in-flight Wi-Fi on long-haul and short-haul routes, pending the airline’s installation schedule and regulatory approvals.
Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet network, is already being adopted by airlines and other transportation operators that want lower-latency connectivity than traditional in-flight systems. For El Al, the upgrade could improve the passenger experience and help the carrier compete more effectively on international routes.
The airline has not said exactly when each aircraft will be fitted, but the 2027 timeline suggests a phased deployment rather than an immediate fleetwide launch. As with other airline technology upgrades, the pace will likely depend on certification, hardware installation, and operational coordination.
For investors tracking SpaceX, this is another example of Starlink expanding beyond the residential market and deeper into mobility and aviation. Each airline deal helps broaden Starlink’s customer base and supports the case for recurring service revenue as adoption grows.
This update shows Starlink continuing to win business in aviation, which is a key growth area for SpaceX beyond consumer internet. More airline partnerships can strengthen Starlink’s long-term revenue potential and reinforce its position as the leading satellite connectivity provider.
