A report by Ookla highlights the current state of in-flight Wi-Fi, analyzing data collected in Q1 2025. Airlines like Delta and American have shifted towards providing free Wi-Fi, tapping into advanced satellite connectivity such as Starlink. However, despite the growing demand and improved accessibility, the speed and performance of in-flight Wi-Fi remain inadequate when compared to terrestrial networks. Ookla's analysis shows significant disparities in internet speeds, pointing out that in-flight experiences still do not meet user expectations.
In-flight Wi-Fi used to be essentially a luxury, but it has evolved into an expected service, with several airlines now offering it for free to all passengers.
Despite the evolving technology and increasing demand for in-flight Wi-Fi, performance still falls short compared to terrestrial networks, according to Ookla.
