Wifi will be available across the Aer Lingus fleet next year after the airline's owner IAG announced an agreement with Elon Musk's Starlink.

International Airlines Group said the deal will bring Starlink-enabled high-speed wi-fi connectivity on Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Level, and Vueling aircraft, with the first aircraft due to go live with the service in early 2026.
