Details
AIRLINE: Virgin Atlantic
AIRCRAFT: Airbus A350-1000
STARLINK: Not yet available; satellite internet (provider not specified for A350-1000, but general Virgin Atlantic fleet uses various providers including Ka-band systems on A350s).
Virgin Atlantic flight VS354, operating today, December 11, 2025, from London to Mumbai, is operated by Virgin Atlantic Airways. The specific aircraft type scheduled for this flight is an Airbus A350-1000 (A35K).
While Virgin Atlantic has announced plans to introduce Starlink in-flight connectivity across its fleet, including the A350s, installations are scheduled to begin in Q3 2026 and be completed by the end of 2027. Therefore, Starlink is not yet available on flight VS354 today.
All Virgin Atlantic aircraft, including the A350-1000, offer Wi-Fi services. On the A350, passengers can purchase messaging passes, one-hour passes, or full-flight passes. The airline utilizes various satellite providers depending on the aircraft type, with A350-1000s and A330neos tapping into newer Ka-band systems, which offer better spectral efficiency and generally higher throughput compared to older Ku-band solutions found on some 787-9s and A330-300s. Wi-Fi speeds on the A350-1000 have been noted to stay in the low double digits for downloads with single-digit uploads during the middle of a flight, which is generally sufficient for cloud documents, messaging, and even low-resolution video meetings if cameras are off. However, speeds can vary depending on the number of users and geographical zones. The service allows for web browsing and most will support audio and video streaming, depending on the selected package.
