StarlinkFlights tracks every confirmed Starlink Aviation partnership, from early-stage announcements through to fully deployed fleets. While other trackers cover just a handful of airlines, we cover every airline with a Starlink programme. We monitor all 52 airlines currently deploying Starlink — from fully installed fleets to carriers in early testing — plus hundreds more tracked for future announcements. Where individual aircraft confirmation data is available we show verified status. Where airlines are mid-rollout our proprietary confidence engine calculates probability from aggregated flight observation data, passenger sightings, and fleet momentum.
Airlines report 1,643 Starlink aircraft. We have independently verified 253 ourselves.

These large carriers currently use competing WiFi providers or have no active Starlink announcement.
Starlink Aviation targets 100+ Mbps per aircraft — typically 20–40× faster than legacy Ku-band systems. Actual speeds vary by satellite coverage and number of connected passengers. Most passengers report 20–80 Mbps during peak hours, enough for video calls, streaming, and real-time work.
We track passenger-reported speed data as it becomes available. Individual aircraft speed records appear on each airline page.
Our airline status data is compiled from official press releases, SEC filings, earnings calls, and aviation authority databases. Each airline's Starlink status is reviewed whenever a new announcement is made or a community sighting is verified.
Aircraft-level Starlink status is tracked through our proprietary aircraft database. Sightings submitted by passengers are cross-referenced against our records and marked as verified once confirmed by two or more independent sources.
The installed designation requires confirmed Starlink on multiple revenue service aircraft. Rolling out requires an active installation programme with aircraft progressively being equipped. Testing means trials on select aircraft not yet in general passenger use. Announced means a signed SpaceX agreement with no public installation timeline.
Airlines with Starlink fully installed include JSX, airBaltic, ZIPAIR, Arajet, and Aero. United Airlines leads active rollouts with 665 aircraft equipped. See the full list above for current status.
