Frontier Group Holdings IncFrontier Airlines will install Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire 183-plane fleet, enhancing its product offering and competitive position.
Five budget airlines controlled by private equity firm Indigo Partners will install SpaceX's Starlink internet service across more than 1,000 combined aircraft, with Frontier Airlines beginning the rollout in early 2027. The carriers—Frontier, Hungary's Wizz Air, Mexico's Volaris, Chile's JetSmart, and the Philippines' Cebu Pacific—moved together in a coordinated deal negotiated by Indigo Partners, which holds significant stakes and board control across the group. Frontier's entire 183-plane Airbus fleet will be equipped, a company spokesperson confirmed. The deal marks a shift in SpaceX's approach, as Wizz Air's earlier Starlink announcement omitted any mention of complimentary access, suggesting most passengers will likely pay for connectivity. Frontier is layering the Wi-Fi rollout onto a broader strategy of adding premium features to its low base fares, with shares recently trading near $6.48, up from a 52-week low of $3.02.
