Korean Air connects passengers with Starlink Wi-Fi rollout
This is a special feature from the November 2026 APEX FTE EXPO issue of PAX Tech on page 6.
Korean Air has launched complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi on select aircraft
Korean Air has launched complimentary high-speed inflight Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, allowing passengers on select flights to stream, work and stay connected in the cabin.
The airline introduced the service on four newly retrofitted widebody aircraft: three A350-900s and one 777-300ER. These aircraft serve medium- and long-haul routes across the Americas, Europe and Southeast Asia, along with key short-haul flights. Korean Air plans to expand Starlink connectivity across its in-service fleet by the end of 2027.
Voice and video calls remain restricted to maintain cabin comfort. Aircraft awaiting retrofit continue to offer the airline’s existing paid Wi-Fi service during the fleet transition.
