Frontier's Owner Mandates Starlink Across Five Budget Airlines

The fleet-wide contract targets travelers who already pay extra for premium seats, with Frontier's first Starlink flight in early 2027.

  • Frontier has never offered in-flight Wi-Fi before; this is its first-ever rollout.
  • Indigo Partners also owns Wizz Air, Volaris, JetSMART and Cebu Pacific, all included.
  • Starlink will wire pilots, flight attendants and ground crews gate to gate too.

Why it matters: Five carriers did not choose this separately; one owner, Indigo Partners, decided once for all five.
