HISTORY MADE Aer Lingus Completes First Flight Using Starlink Wi-Fi from Dublin to New York

Aer Lingus has made aviation history by launching Ireland’s first-ever flight featuring Starlink Wi-Fi. Passengers flying from Dublin to New York JFK now enjoy blazing-fast internet high above the Atlantic.

Thanks to Starlink’s fleet of over 10,000 satellites, Aer Lingus passengers can browse, stream, shop, and work with lightning speed mid-air. Speeds hit an incredible 500 Mbps, giving flyers the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky. Multi-device connectivity is no problem for travellers on board.

Aer Lingus is rolling out Starlink Wi-Fi in stages. First, planes on North American routes will get the new system. Then it’s Europe’s turn. By early 2027, every long-haul Aer Lingus aircraft will be wired up, promising uninterrupted internet for all international travellers.
