en.Wedoany.com Reported - El Al Israel Airlines Ltd., the national carrier of Israel, has announced it will adopt SpaceX's Starlink in-flight connectivity (IFC) service. The company stated it has signed an agreement with Starlink, with the service set to be gradually rolled out starting next year.

El Al made the announcement on X platform this Monday but did not disclose whether the service would be free for customers or provide a more specific rollout timeline. El Al previously partnered with Viasat for in-flight connectivity and launched Viasat's in-flight Wi-Fi service on transatlantic flights in 2019. In a statement, El Al said it continues to invest in the most advanced products and services to enhance passengers' travel experience from the ground to the air.

Affected by the conflict with Iran and the subsequent closure of Israeli airports, El Al reported poor performance in the first quarter. According to its current fleet information, the Israeli airline operates an all-Boeing fleet of approximately 46 aircraft. The company is undergoing fleet renewal and purchased additional Boeing Dreamliner aircraft in April. El Al's Dreamliner fleet is expected to grow from the current 17 aircraft to 28 by the end of this decade, with potential further expansion to up to 34 aircraft.
