Bahrain’s flag carrier Gulf Air will roll out Starlink high-speed internet across its entire fleet starting mid-2026.

The Gulf state approved the launch of Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by US billionaire Elon Musk, this month.

The first Starlink-equipped Gulf Air A320 is scheduled to enter service mid-year, with fleet-wide installation to follow, the carrier said in a statement.

The airline will offer complimentary Wi-Fi to passengers on its aircraft from boarding through to arrival.

“With Starlink on board, Gulf Air is bringing next-generation in-flight connectivity to all passengers, whether traveling for leisure or business,” CEO Martin Gauss said.

Starlink operates through a growing constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites, delivering high-speed, low-latency internet.

In November, Dubai-based Emirates Airline said it will deploy Starlink across its entire 232-aircraft in-service fleet by mid-2027, starting with Boeing 777s in late 2025 and moving to Airbus A380s in 2026.

Qatar Airways was the first Gulf airline to launch Starlink service across its Boeing 777 fleet in October 2024. Saudi Arabia and Oman have already approved Starlink.
