"By mid-2027, all 232 of its in-service Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft will have Starlink connectivity, giving passengers access that requires no payment or special Skywards membership. The airline will begin by installing two antennae on each Boeing 777 aircraft, followed by an industry-first three antennae on each Airbus A380. This will ensure a better customer experience across every cabin, offering the highest levels of connectivity, capacity, and coverage."
