The Spanish airline Iberia is poised to make a true technological breakthrough in passenger air travel. Starting in 2026, all of the airline’s flights will offer free high-speed internet, accessible to every passenger regardless of class. This has become possible thanks to a new agreement with Starlink, a company specializing in next-generation satellite internet services.
The new system is expected to provide a stable internet connection even in regions where traditional providers are unavailable. Passengers will be able to use the onboard internet as freely as they would at home or in the office. Download speeds will reach up to 450 Mbps, with upload speeds of up to 70 Mbps. This will allow travelers to stream movies, work with cloud services, play games, and communicate without delays.
The rollout of Starlink technology means travelers will stay connected even during flights over oceans, polar regions, and other hard-to-reach areas. For many customers, this will be a real advantage, especially for those accustomed to working or keeping in touch while on the move. The innovation will cover all Iberia routes—including both long-haul and short flights within Europe and beyond.
With this move, Iberia aims to strengthen its position in the market and increase customer loyalty. Free onboard WiFi is not just a convenience, but a vital element of modern service that is becoming the standard for leading airlines worldwide. The launch of this new service is expected to attract interest from business travelers, families with children, and anyone who values constant access to information and entertainment.
