British Airways to offer free fast onboard WiFi to all after Starlink deal

British Airways has signed a deal with Starlink to provide free high-speed WiFi on more than 500 aircraft across BA, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. The service will be available to all cabins from next year, offering “reliable and lightning-fast” connectivity from boarding to landing, even over oceans or remote regions. BA’s chief executive described the rollout as “game-changing” and part of a wider £7 billion transformation programme intended to elevate the carrier’s passenger experience.
