El Al will add Starlink internet services to its aircraft starting in 2027, the company announced in an X/Twitter post on Monday.
According to the statement, the new onboard service “will provide a fast, stable and continuous browsing experience throughout the flight, just like at home.”
“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.”
The Starlink service is set to be available at the beginning of 2027 and will be offered to customers free of charge, according to Reuters.
El Al currently offers wireless internet service on its 787 and 777 fleets, as well as on some 737 aircraft, according to the company’s website.
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.
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.
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.”
On June 8, Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air announced on X that the service would be installed on its aircraft in 2027.
