Singapore Airlines Selects Starlink High-Speed In-Flight Wi-Fi

DALLAS — Starting in Q1 2027, Singapore Airlines (SQ) customers will enjoy an enhanced in-flight Wi-Fi experience. The airline will progressively introduce Starlink’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based broadband service on board its Airbus A350-900 long-haul, A350-900 ultra-long-range (ULR), and A380 aircraft.

Starlink can provide multi-gigabit connectivity to aircraft using its Aero Terminal, which supports up to 1 Gbps per antenna. This allows passengers in all cabin classes to enjoy faster, smoother, and seamless connectivity from take-off to landing.

SQ will continue to provide complimentary Wi-Fi to its customers in Suites, First Class, Business Class, PPS Club members, and KrisFlyer members travelling in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class.

Mr. Yeoh Phee Teik, Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Singapore Airlines, said, “Fast, seamless connectivity is, today, an essential part of the travel experience. Singapore Airlines already offers the world’s most comprehensive complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi across our entire fleet. Starlink will take this to the next level by delivering next-generation high-speed connectivity, enabling customers to stay entertained, connected, and productive throughout their journey, with a smoother and seamless experience from take-off to landing.”

Mr. Jason Fritch, Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales, SpaceX, said: “We are excited to bring Starlink on board Singapore Airlines. Customers and crew will soon experience seamless, low-latency connectivity while traveling. Whether flying long-haul or ultra-long-haul distances, Starlink is redefining what is possible for leisure and business travelers alike – making every flight more enjoyable and infinitely more connected.”

Other upgrades to Singapore’s premium products will arrive in Q1 27. The airline is investing 1.1 billion SGD (~US$835) to update the interiors of its entire long-haul Airbus A350-900 fleet. Details on the upgrades will be officially revealed later.
