Starlink Connectivity on Dash 8-400s

Jazz Aviation, operating as Air Canada Express, has begun rolling out Starlink in-flight WiFi on a portion of its De Havilland Dash 8-400 fleet. This service commenced in October 2025 on flights from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to Montréal and Ottawa. The expansion of Starlink across more Dash 8-400 aircraft is planned throughout 2026. This initiative marks the first time in-flight Wi-Fi has been offered on a Dash 8-400 aircraft anywhere in the world.

Next-Generation Speeds and Performance

Starlink utilizes a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, which provides a significantly enhanced internet experience compared to traditional satellite systems. Passengers can expect speeds that feel similar to home broadband, with average download benchmarks around 150 Mbps. The LEO technology also delivers very low latency, typically under 30 milliseconds, enabling activities like streaming and cloud-based work.
