WestJet's In-Flight WiFi Technology
WestJet is significantly enhancing its in-flight connectivity through a strategic partnership with TELUS, delivering high-speed internet powered by Starlink. The Starlink system is largely installed across WestJet's narrowbody Boeing 737 fleet, with the widebody Boeing 787 aircraft expected to be fully equipped by the end of 2026. This new service is replacing or supplementing older systems on many flights.
Connectivity and Speed Expectations
With Starlink, WestJet's in-flight WiFi offers speeds comparable to home internet, with reported download speeds reaching over 250 Mbps. This allows passengers to stream videos, play online games, and make video calls without significant interruptions. On aircraft not yet upgraded to Starlink, the connectivity is generally suitable for basic web browsing and email. You can check for WiFi availability on your specific flight by looking for the WiFi symbol during booking or consulting the WestJet Flight Guide.
