International Airlines Group (IAG) has announced a deal to install Starlink-enabled high speed wi-fi connectivity on Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL and Vueling aircraft, with the first aircraft due to go live with the service in early 2026.

The new high speed wi-fi partnership with Starlink will be implemented on more than 500 aircraft across IAG’s airlines covering short-haul journeys in Europe as well as all the business group’s long-haul transatlantic and global routes.
