Air France is extending its offering of free broadband WiFi access to its passengers using Elon Musk’s Starlink.

“Free high-speed Wi-Fi is now available on board Air France flights. A stable, fast and secure experience by Starlink, and already deployed on several aircraft and gradually being rolled out across the entire fleet by the end of 2026,” said an Air France statement.

The Air France adoption of Starlink means that its global network of destinations now offers what it describes as” unprecedented” global connectivity.

“This new service, completely free of charge in all travel cabins, will be accessible to customers by logging into their Flying Blue* account. Over time, this Wi-Fi service will be made available on board all the airline’s aircraft, replacing the current offer,” added the airline. “During the flight, customers will be able to easily stay in touch with friends and family, follow all the world’s news live, play video games online, and of course stream TV, films, and series. The service will be accessible from smartphones, digital tablets, and laptops, and each customer will be able to connect several devices simultaneously.”

The airline joins Southwest, Qatar Airways, American Airlines, AirBaltic, JetBlue, SAS and United with Starlink connectivity.
