en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spain's flagship airline Iberia has officially introduced Starlink in-flight internet service into its operations, becoming the latest carrier to adopt this satellite broadband service.

The first Iberia aircraft equipped with Starlink is an Airbus A330-300, registration number EC-MAA, which departed from Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) just before midnight on June 23, 2026, operating a flight to São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport (GRU). In the same week, two major U.S. carriers, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, also announced the activation of Starlink services.

Iberia's parent company, International Airlines Group (IAG), signed an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX in November 2025 to equip the entire fleet of all its subsidiaries with this increasingly popular satellite-based high-speed in-flight broadband service. This move aligns with Iberia's "Plan de Vuelo 2030" strategic plan, which allocates 6 billion euros over a five-year cycle to enhance the experience at all passenger touchpoints.

Iberia expects to complete the full deployment of Starlink over the coming years and plans to offer the network service free of charge to passengers in all cabin classes.
