What airlines have WiFi on planes?

Airlines with free Wi-Fi include JetBlue, Delta Air Lines, Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and Emirates Airlines. However, there are some restrictions on the free Wi-Fi offered by each airline. For example, JetBlue offers free Wi-Fi to all passengers, but streaming video is not allowed.



In 2026, almost all major global airlines offer Wi-Fi on their aircraft, but the speed and cost vary wildly. Delta Air Lines is the industry leader for free connectivity, offering fast, streaming-quality Wi-Fi for all SkyMiles members across its entire domestic and international fleet. Other carriers like JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic, and Air New Zealand also provide free Wi-Fi as a standard amenity. United, American, and Alaska Airlines have recently launched free Wi-Fi for their loyalty members to compete with Delta. Many international carriers like Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Lufthansa offer free messaging to all passengers but charge between $10 and $25 for full web browsing. A growing number of airlines are now installing Starlink Aviation (including Hawaiian and Qatar Airways), which provides "gate-to-gate" high-speed internet that finally rivals the experience of being on land.
