Tracking Alaska Airlines aircraft with Starlink WiFi
Alaska Airlines is rolling out free Starlink WiFi across its entire fleet — Horizon Air Embraer E175s went first in late 2025, with the 737 and 787 fleets following through 2027. Alaska is replacing its legacy Intelsat system, so equipped aircraft already had paid WiFi; Starlink makes it free and an order of magnitude faster.
Departures on Starlink-equipped aircraft — next 48 hours
Alaska started with the Horizon Air Embraer E175 regional fleet in December 2025, then began equipping the 737 mainline fleet (737-700, -800, -900ER, MAX 8, MAX 9) and the 787-9 through 2026. Alaska expects roughly half the fleet done by the end of 2026 and all aircraft equipped by the end of 2027. The list above shows tails confirmed so far.
Yes — free for every passenger, gate-to-gate, with no login or loyalty requirement. Aircraft that haven't been retrofitted yet still carry Alaska's legacy Intelsat system, which is paid.
Following the 2024 merger, Hawaiian-branded routes are flown by the Hawaiian Airbus fleet (A330, A321neo) — those aircraft all have Starlink already. See the Hawaiian tracker for that fleet. Some 787-9s originally ordered by Hawaiian are transferring to Alaska's fleet and will be equipped on Alaska's schedule.
Horizon Air E175s were the first Alaska aircraft to get Starlink and are tracked here. SkyWest-operated Alaska Express flights are not yet tracked separately (SkyWest tails fly for multiple carriers).
Fleet roster from public aviation data; per-tail Starlink status from Alaska's flight-status systems and public rollout announcements. Alaska's own status page does not yet expose a per-aircraft WiFi-provider field, so individual tails are confirmed as installations are reported.
