El Al<\/a> will add Starlink internet services to its aircraft starting in 2027, the company announced in an X\/Twitter post on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the new onboard service “will provide a fast, stable and continuous browsing experience throughout the flight, just like at home.”<\/p>\n

“We continue to invest in the most advanced products and services,” the post continued, “with the aim of upgrading your flight experience from the ground to the air.”<\/p>\n

The Starlink<\/a> service is set to be available at the beginning of 2027 and will be offered to customers free of charge, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

El Al currently offers wireless internet service on its 787<\/a> and 777 fleets, as well as on some 737 aircraft, according to the company’s website.<\/p>\n

The service is offered in three pricing tiers, ranging from messaging\/social media only to full video streaming, and can be paid for with a credit card or frequent flyer points.<\/p>\n

Starlink is already available on other airlines around the world, including US carrier United Airlines, which rolled out the service starting with its regional aircraft in March 2025, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

Starlink shared an X post on Saturday showing a user’s in-flight Starlink experience onboard a United flight, saying the service offers “high-speed internet from 30,000 feet.”<\/p>\n

On June 8, Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air<\/a> announced on X that the service would be installed on its aircraft in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"El Al will add Starlink internet services to its aircraft starting in 2027, the company announced in an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[35593,20490,350,37187,85,123,46,141,145,4689],"class_list":["post-494432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-airlines","tag-el-al","tag-elon-musk","tag-flights","tag-il","tag-internet","tag-israel","tag-science","tag-space","tag-starlink"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
