EasyJet strikes deal with Elon Musk's Starlink to offer wifi on its flights for the first time from 2027
Installation of Starlink wifi across EasyJet's A320 and A321neo fleet is due to begin in the first half of 2027, with the rollout expected to finish by early 2028.
In January, easyJet chief executive Kenton Jarvis said the numbers for Starlink did not work. Now the budget airline will fit the system across its A320, A320neo and A321neo fleet from the first half of 2027, finishing by early 2028. Ryanair has been left behind after boss Michael O'Leary fell out with Musk.
O'Leary and Musk traded insults online, each calling the other an 'idiot'.
Ryanair warned that using Starlink could cost it up to $250 million a year.
Passengers will be able to stream, game and even order from the menu from their seats.
