Elon Musk wants to dominate the in-flight internet market. Here are all the airlines that now offer Starlink WiFi.

British Airways announced a deal with Starlink in November.Courtesy of British AirwaysEmirates is the latest airline to sign up for Elon Musk's Starlink WiFi.17 other carriers have also announced deals for the ultra-high-speed internet.It's already available on some airlines — here's the full list.Elon Musk's Starlink has gained yet another airline customer as the ultra-high-speed WiFi service continues to gain popularity.On the first day of this month's Dubai Airshow, Emirates announced that Starlink will be available for free, starting November 23.Business Insider previously tested Starlink on Qatar Airways' first flight with it last October. The connection speed peaked at 215 megabits per second, more than enough for a lag-free video call, and faster than many cable-based internet services.Starlink functions thanks to a constellation of over 7,000 satellites, which allows internet connections in remote locations, such as flying over an ocean. The satellites are in low-earth orbit, which means faster internet speeds — but also disrupts astronomers.Starlink isn't the only game in town, however.JetBlue has signed up for Amazon Leo, which functions similarly, but has only launched 150 satellites so far.Another in-flight WiFi rival is Viasat, which is used by Delta Air Lines and American Airlines. It only has a handful of satellites in a geostationary orbit, which have a longer time delay.While it has rivals, Starlink wants to cement its dominance. As Starlink grows in popularity, it could be that more carriers sign up to Starlink to keep up with competitors. All airlines with Starlink offer it free of charge, although some require passengers to sign up for their loyalty programs.As of the Emirates announcement, here are all the airlines that have publicly announced plans to launch Starlink:Aer LingusAn Aer Lingus Airbus A330.Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto/GettyThe Irish flag carrier is part of International Airlines Group, which announced its Starlink deal in early November.
