Vietjet signs
agreement with Starlink to bring high-speed internet to flights across its
global network
(Vietjet, New York, September
23, 2026) – During the working visit to the United States by Vietnam’s
General Secretary and President To Lam, Vietjet, together with its group
companies Galaxy Holdings and Galaxy Telecom, signed a strategic partnership
agreement with Starlink, the satellite internet service engineered and operated
by SpaceX, to provide passengers with free, high-speed Wi-Fi on Vietjet
flights.
The agreement was exchanged in the presence of Vietnam’s General
Secretary and President To Lam, senior leaders and business representatives
from both countries, marking a new milestone in aviation technology cooperation
between Vietnam and the United States.
In the initial phase, Starlink will be installed on 120 Vietjet
aircraft, including 100 Airbus A321/Boeing 737 aircraft and 20 Airbus A330
aircraft. Vietjet also plans to equip all future aircraft deliveries with
high-speed internet, extending connectivity across its Vietnam domestic and
international network.
With high-speed, low-latency connectivity and coverage over oceans,
polar regions and remote areas, Starlink will enable passengers to work, stay
connected, stream entertainment and access online content throughout their
journey. Vietjet aims to make high-speed inflight Wi-Fi no longer a premium
amenity, but an essential and widely accessible digital service for everyday
air travel.
Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietjet Chairwoman, said: “With Starlink,
time in the air no longer has to mean time offline. Vietjet passengers will be
able to stay connected throughout their journey—whether working, staying
entertained, or keeping in touch with family and friends. This reflects
Vietjet’s longstanding commitment to innovation and our ambition to bring
leading technologies closer to more people.”
“The introduction of Starlink on Vietjet will build on the fast,
reliable service already connecting homes and businesses on the ground in
Vietnam," said Tim Hughes, Senior Vice President of Global Business and
Government Affairs at SpaceX. "We’re thrilled to deliver a connectivity
experience to Vietjet and its customers, making every journey better, smoother
and infinitely more enjoyable.”
Vietjet will offer passengers free, high-speed internet on its domestic
and international flights.
The Starlink agreement marks the beginning of a long-term technology
relationship between Vietjet and SpaceX. Together with its modern fleet and
continued investment in data, artificial intelligence and highly skilled
talent, Vietjet is building a digital aviation ecosystem that keeps millions of
passengers connected to the world throughout their journeys.
