No Starlink program announced. Philippine Airlines flies Viasat's GX satellite Wi-Fi — a GX customer since 2017, with its A350-1000s taking the system through the HBCplus programme.
Viasat GX satellite Wi-Fi; no Starlink agreement announced
Philippine Airlines' inflight connectivity runs on Viasat's GX network, acquired through the Inmarsat buyout: PAL has been a GX customer since 2017 and an early adopter of line-fit installations from 2018, and Airbus confirmed that PAL's incoming A350-1000s will take GX capacity through its HBCplus programme. The announcement does not name Starlink.
A July 2026 review of Philippine Airlines' A350-1000 economy cabin reported Viasat Wi-Fi installed on the type and complimentary on the flight.
