EasyJet strikes Starlink wifi deal with Elon Musk just months after its boss said the numbers did NOT work
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.
Passengers will be able to stream, game and browse 'from take-off to landing' for the first time in the airline's three-decade history. Fitting is due to begin in the first half of 2027 across the A320, A320neo and A321neo fleet, with completion expected by early 2028. EasyJet carried 100 million passengers in 2025.
Rival Ryanair's Michael O'Leary and Musk traded 'idiot' insults after O'Leary snubbed Starlink.
O'Leary claimed the antennas would cause a '2 per cent fuel drag' on his jets.
Ryanair flagged costs of up to $250 million a year for using Starlink.
