According to the airline, the service will be offered to passengers free of charge, subject to conditions, and will allow in-flight browsing, streaming, remote work and other digital services.
The system, which is based on a low-Earth orbit satellite network, is expected to allow hundreds of passengers to connect simultaneously, including on long-haul flights.
El Al has not yet said which aircraft will be fitted with the system first or provided a full rollout schedule across its fleet.
“We continue to invest in upgrading the flight experience and in the most advanced products for our customers,” El Al CEO Dina Ben Tal Ganancia said. “The integration of Starlink technology into El Al aircraft is a significant step forward, allowing customers to stay connected in the air, enjoy live streaming and continue working and communicating smoothly and without interruption.
“This strategic move reflects our commitment to providing El Al customers with a leading flight experience that meets the international standards of the aviation world.”
With the agreement, El Al joins a growing list of airlines worldwide that have already installed or announced plans to install Starlink internet services on their aircraft, part of a broader industry trend toward improved in-flight connectivity and expanded digital services for passengers.
