airBaltic has become the first European airline to introduce SpaceX’s Starlink high-speed internet for free onboard its Airbus A220-300 fleet. With certification granted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), this marks a new era of seamless inflight connectivity for passengers across the airline’s network.
“This is a historic milestone for airBaltic and a game-changer for European air travel,” said Martin Gauss, President and CEO, airBaltic. “By becoming the first European airline to integrate SpaceX’s Starlink, we are redefining what connectivity in the skies means. This is not just an improvement, it is a revolution in air travel, and we are proud to be at the forefront, delivering the future of connectivity to our passengers already today.”
airBaltic has commenced Starlink installation across its Airbus A220-300 fleet and expects to complete the full fleet integration by the end of 2025. With Starlink, airBaltic will provide uninterrupted, free-of-charge, high-speed, and low-latency internet from boarding to landing, allowing passengers to stream videos, work remotely, and stay connected without requiring logins or additional setups.
“Customers and crew of airBaltic flights will now have access to high-speed, low-latency internet the moment they step onboard their plane,” said Chad Gibbs, SpaceX’s Vice President of Starlink Business Operations. “This year, we intend to have the entire airBaltic fleet connected with Starlink, and we couldn’t be more excited to provide reliable internet service on tens of thousands of flights and counting all around the world.”
