Iberia’s First Aircraft with Free High-Speed Starlink Wi-Fi
Iberia becomes the first Spanish airline to offer onboard Wi-Fi from Starlink,
Iberia now has its first aircraft equipped with free high-speed Wi-Fi. It is the first plane in the airline's fleet to feature Starlink's advanced connectivity technology, allowing customers to enjoy high-speed internet access from virtually anywhere in the world.
With this new and enhanced onboard connectivity system, Iberia becomes the first Spanish airline to incorporate reliable satellite connectivity technology engineered by SpaceX. The system is designed to support multiple devices simultaneously and ensures a seamless experience for all customers. Connectivity is faster and more stable than traditional systems thanks to Starlink’s low Earth orbit satellite constellation, powered by thousands of satellites.
The new service will be free for customers in all cabins — Economy, Premium Economy and Business — and will provide a home-like connectivity experience, with speeds of up to 500 Mbps. This will enable high-bandwidth activities such as streaming live events, video calls, online gaming, simultaneous browsing and remote working. In addition, connectivity will be available throughout the entire travel experience, from boarding to arrival (gate to gate), delivering a smoother and more consistent digital experience onboard.
Connectivity Driving Flight Plan 2030
This milestone has been made possible thanks to the strategic partnership that IAG, the airline’s parent group, signed with Starlink last November. Starlink is the world’s most advanced satellite constellation, engineered by SpaceX. The introduction of this enhanced onboard connectivity system reinforces Iberia’s commitment to innovation and digitalisation, both essential pillars of Flight Plan 2030.
The company’s roadmap includes investments totalling €6 billion in key areas such as customer experience, artificial intelligence, fleet renewal and the development of Ciudad Iberia, a leading aviation innovation hub.
