  "summary": "Starlink Wi-Fi is being added to various airlines worldwide, with over 200,000 flights already using the satellite internet service. In North America, Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and WestJet are in the process of implementing Starlink on their fleets. Internationally, airlines such as Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar Airways, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, airBaltic, Aer Lingus, Air France, and British Airways offer Starlink Wi-Fi on some of their flights. Third-party websites like Starlink Flights and Stardrift track Starlink rollouts across commercial carriers, helping passengers estimate if their upcoming flight may be equipped with the high-speed Wi-Fi. However, these trackers may not always be up-to-date, and some airlines have only completed installations on certain plane types. As of October 2026, only a few commercial airlines have finished adding Starlink to their fleets.",
