Airlines with Starlink WiFi — 2026 Coverage
Qatar Airways
92% of long-haul fleet equipped — verified verification, rollout phase: active
Qatar Airways has the most advanced Starlink deployment of any airline in the world. Over 92% of its long-haul fleet carries Starlink hardware, confirmed at the individual tail-number level. Both the Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 fleets are almost entirely equipped, making Qatar Airways the most reliable choice for guaranteed in-flight Starlink access on long-haul routes.
Notable routes with Starlink
- QR720 (Seattle → Doha): always Starlink
- QR719 (Doha → Seattle): always Starlink
- QR827 (Dallas–Fort Worth → Doha): always Starlink
- QR921 (Houston → Doha): always Starlink
British Airways
2% of long-haul fleet equipped — reported verification, rollout phase: pilot
British Airways has launched a Starlink pilot on a small number of Boeing 787-9 long-haul aircraft, with approximately 5 aircraft equipped according to third-party tracking. Individual tail-number verification is not yet available, so there is no reliable way to confirm Starlink on a specific BA flight ahead of travel. A wider fleet rollout is planned through 2026–2027.
Air France
22% of long-haul fleet equipped — reported verification, rollout phase: rolling
Air France has been actively installing Starlink hardware across its long-haul fleet, with third-party estimates suggesting around 22% of aircraft are now equipped. Individual tail-number data is not yet publicly available for Air France, so it is not possible to confirm Starlink on a specific flight ahead of travel. The airline is targeting a full long-haul fleet rollout by end of 2026.
