Emirates is installing free Starlink Wi-Fi across its Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 fleets, aiming for full fleet coverage by mid-2027. The service is free for all passengers, regardless of Skywards status

## Summary

Emirates has announced the rollout of free Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet, starting with Boeing 777s and now extending to Airbus A380s. The airline plans to fit 14 aircraft per month, targeting full fleet coverage by mid-2027. Currently, 25 Boeing 777s have been equipped. The service is free for all passengers, requiring no Skywards membership, and offers high-speed, low-latency broadband suitable for streaming and productivity.

The rollout is part of a broader cabin refurbishment program that includes new Premium Economy and enhanced Business Class cabins
