Alaska Airlines is rolling out Starlink across its fleet, with 145 aircraft currently equipped. Check whether your flight has high-speed satellite WiFi.
Includes former Hawaiian Airlines fleet
After the September 2024 Alaska Air Group acquisition, the Alaska Airlines fleet absorbed Hawaiian Airlines' A330-200s and A321neos. Those aircraft were equipped with Starlink under Hawaiian's original 2022 SpaceX partnership and continue to offer free Starlink WiFi today — now operating Hawaii and trans-Pacific routes under Alaska Airlines flight numbers.

Starlink is currently being installed primarily on Alaska's Embraer E175 regional jets, operated by both SkyWest and Horizon Air. A small number of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft have also begun receiving the technology. The majority of the mainline 737 fleet, including the 737-800 family, has not yet started installation.
Check the aircraft registration tail number for your flight using Alaska's booking portal or a flight tracking service, then search that tail number on StarlinkFlights.com to see if it has been equipped. Alaska does not yet consistently indicate Starlink availability during the booking process, so verifying the specific aircraft assignment closer to departure is the most reliable method.
Starlink is free for Alaska Atmos Rewards loyalty programme members and for T-Mobile Atmos customers. Other passengers may need to purchase access, though Alaska's pricing structure during the rollout period is still evolving as the service expands.
Regional routes within Alaska and to smaller West Coast communities are among the first to benefit, since many are served by the E175 aircraft currently leading the installation programme. Longer Hawaii routes will receive Starlink as the Boeing 737 fleet installation accelerates, but most Hawaii flights still rely on the older WiFi system for now.
Alaska has not published a firm completion date, but the rollout is actively progressing with new aircraft being equipped regularly. The regional jet fleet is furthest along, whilst the mainline 737 installation is in early stages. Expect the deployment to continue over the coming year as Alaska balances installation schedules with operational demands.
Starlink offers significantly higher speeds and lower latency than Alaska's legacy air-to-ground system, which was limited by ground tower coverage and often struggled over water and remote areas. Passengers report the ability to stream high-definition video, participate in video calls, and use cloud-based applications without the buffering and dropouts common with the older technology.
If your aircraft hasn't been retrofitted, you'll still have access to Alaska's existing WiFi system on most routes, though with slower speeds and less consistent coverage. For critical connectivity needs, consider selecting flights operated by aircraft types further along in the Starlink installation schedule, particularly E175 regional jets, and verify the tail number beforehand.
Starlink installation applies to aircraft operated by Alaska's regional partners SkyWest and Horizon Air when they fly under Alaska's brand, and these regional jets are currently leading the deployment. Other codeshare and alliance partners have their own connectivity strategies independent of Alaska's Starlink programme.
Yes, Starlink's low latency and high bandwidth make it well-suited for business applications including VPN access, video conferencing, and real-time collaboration tools. This represents a substantial improvement over Alaska's previous system, which often struggled with these use cases due to bandwidth constraints and signal interruptions.
Starlink's satellite-based architecture provides continuous coverage over oceans and remote terrain, which is particularly valuable for Alaska's routes across the Pacific, over the Gulf of Alaska, and to isolated communities. This is a major advantage over the airline's legacy air-to-ground system, which relied on land-based cell towers and had significant coverage gaps.
