On Tuesday (July 14, 2026), Frontier Airlines announced the transformation of their onboard connectivity experience with the introduction of Starlink, the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky. Engineered by SpaceX, Starlink delivers an unmatched broadband experience in flight, with high-speed, low-latency Wi-Fi capable of HD streaming, online gaming, productivity and more.  The carrier plans to launch their first Starlink-equipped aircraft in early 2027, and will be the first US airline to offer passengers access to Starlink’s high-speed internet through a new system managed directly by Starlink.


In Tuesday’s announcement, Frontier Airlines’ CEO, Jimmy Dempsey, said,


“We’re continuing to invest in the products and services that matter most to our customers. Starlink transforms the onboard experience, giving customers the flexibility to work, stream, browse, and stay connected throughout their journey. Alongside the introduction of First Class seating and enhancements to our loyalty program, it's another example of how we're evolving the travel experience while staying true to our commitment to offering the lowest fares.”


Frontier and fellow Indigo Partners portfolio airlines Wizz Air (Europe), Volaris (Mexico), JetSMART (South America), and Cebu Pacific (Philippines) expect to install Starlink on over 1,000 aircraft.  The deployment represents one of the largest global commitments to next-generation inflight connectivity, with the airlines bringing low fares, and access to reliable Wi-Fi provided through a new system managed directly by Starlink.


Also commenting on the introduction of Starlink, Indigo Partners’ Managing Partner, Bill Franke, added,


“Starlink will provide our portfolio airlines with reliable, high-speed connectivity, further enhancing the customer experience of flying on Wizz, Frontier, Volaris, JetSMART and Cebu.”


Denver-based Frontier Airlines is a subsidiary of Frontier Group Holdings, Inc.  The carrier is committed to ‘Low Fares Done Right’, and currently operates a fleet of 164 Airbus A320 Family and the largest A320neo fleet in the U.S.  With approximately 200 new Airbus aircraft on order, Frontier will continue to grow and deliver on their mission of providing affordable air travel across America and beyond.
