Copa Airlines today announced the rollout of Starlink inflight internet service, becoming the first airline in Latin America to offer passengers high-speed WiFi powered by Starlink.
The airline’s first Starlink-equipped aircraft completed its inaugural flight on July 4, 2026, marking the beginning of the phased installation across Copa’s fleet. The rollout is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2027.
“Introducing Starlink is another step in our commitment to continuously improving the travel experience for our customers through innovation,” said Diana Mizrachi-Kopel, Senior Director of Customer Experience at Copa Airlines. “As Latin America’s most on-time airline, we are now also the region’s first airline to offer Starlink’s high-speed internet onboard our aircraft.”
With Starlink’s high-speed connectivity, passengers will be able to stay connected throughout their journey, enjoying services such as live sports streaming, movies and TV shows, cloud-based work applications, real-time web browsing, online gaming, and uninterrupted messaging.
Complimentary access to Starlink WiFi will be available on equipped aircraft for ConnectMiles PreferMember Gold, Platinum, and Presidential members, as well as passengers traveling in Business Class. Customers with Starlink Residential and Starlink Roam subscriptions will also receive complimentary onboard access.
All other passengers will be able to purchase internet access through Starlink’s onboard portal, making high-speed connectivity available to more travelers during their flight.
With the addition of Starlink, Copa Airlines continues to strengthen its leadership in regional connectivity — not only through its award-winning Hub of the Americas® in Panama City, but now also in the skies, delivering one of the most advanced inflight connectivity experiences available in Latin America.
