Summary
El Al said it will equip its entire fleet with Starlink high-speed internet under a deal announced Monday, with installations set to begin in 2027.
Free onboard connectivity for passengers is central to the rollout, the Israeli flag carrier said, though it did not disclose financial terms.
SpaceX's Starlink will provide the service, extending Elon Musk's satellite internet network into El Al's aircraft as airlines compete to upgrade in-flight connectivity.
