Korean Air, alongside Asiana Airlines, Jin Air, Air Busan and Air Seoul, will introduce Starlink high-speed inflight WiFi to its entire fleet. Korean Air and the other carriers are all part of the Hanjin Airline Group. This marks the first time, said the announcement, that a South Korean airline will adopt Starlink for inflight connectivity.

All five airlines will begin installation preparation and testing later this year. Rollout schedules will vary by carrier, with the earliest service introduction expected as early as the third quarter of 2026.

Korean Air and Asiana Airlines will prioritize Starlink installation on their long-haul Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Following a planned integration between those two carriers, fleetwide installation is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Jin Air will first equip its Boeing 737-8 aircraft, and Air Busan and Air Seoul will review their fleets to determine installation priority.

A Korean Air representative said, “Connectivity is an essential part of the travel experience, and with Starlink, our customers will stay connected with fast and seamless internet.”
