Details
AIRLINE: Cathay Pacific
AIRCRAFT: Airbus A350-900
STARLINK: In-flight WiFi available (provider generally Panasonic Avionics or other satellite providers, not Starlink)
Cathay Pacific offers in-flight Wi-Fi services on its Airbus A350 fleet, which includes the A350-900 aircraft. While the airline aims to have 100% fleet connectivity by August 2025, its A350 aircraft are already equipped with Wi-Fi.
The Wi-Fi service is satellite-based and is generally a paid service with various packages available based on duration (e.g., hourly, for flights up to six hours, or for flights over six hours). As of November 15, 2025, complimentary Wi-Fi is provided to First Class and Business Class passengers, as well as Cathay Diamond and Gold members. All passengers can access the Cathay Pacific website and its shopping portal for free. A more basic "Message Pass" for messaging applications like WhatsApp and iMessage is also available for a lower fee on flights shorter than six hours.
While the service is described as "solid" and "decent" for light browsing, emails, and social media, allowing for download speeds around 2.46 Mb/s, it may be inconsistent for heavy usage such as high-definition streaming or video calls. Cathay Pacific utilizes different connectivity suppliers across its fleet, and while Panasonic Avionics was historically a partner, there is no indication that Starlink is currently the provider.
