Latvian airline airBaltic has made history as the first European airline to introduce free, high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet on its Airbus A220-300 fleet. Certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), this marks a major leap in in-flight connectivity.
To celebrate, airBaltic hosted a special Starlink-equipped flight at Riga Airport, with the first commercial flight featuring the service—BT221 from Riga to Munich—scheduled for tomorrow.
airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss called it a “game-changer for European air travel,” while SpaceX VP Chad Gibbs emphasized the goal of connecting the entire fleet this year.
With this move, airBaltic is leading Europe into a new era of uninterrupted in-flight connectivity.
