Launch Catch-Up — Airline Announcement Issued October 26

EasyJet plans to introduce onboard internet for the first time through a Starlink agreement, with installation beginning in the first half of 2027 and completion expected by early 2028.

The British airline announced the plan October 26. It covers its Airbus A320, A320neo and A321neo aircraft. AirlineGeeks independently reported the rollout and completion timetable.

Passengers would use their own devices to browse, stream and play games through the satellite connection, according to easyJet. The company also described access to journey information, including flight status and destination details, as potential uses.

The announcement sets out a future installation program, rather than a service already available throughout the fleet. It does not identify the first equipped aircraft or publish a flight-by-flight availability schedule.

EasyJet’s release does not specify passenger pricing. Its statements about high-speed access describe the planned service; the announcement supplies no independently measured performance results from an operational easyJet fleet installation.

Chief executive Kenton Jarvis said the investment is intended to provide more options for business and leisure travelers. The airline also sees potential for passengers to order from an inflight menu while seated, although the release describes that as an opportunity enabled by the technology.

The practical next milestones are installation and service availability. The expected early-2028 completion remains a company timetable, subject to execution of the rollout, rather than a statement that every flight will have connectivity when installation begins.
