Hello,


It does as the default but members if you had changed that before.


Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

"If you turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth while you're in Airplane Mode, they'll be on the next time you use Airplane Mode, unless you turn them off while in Airplane Mode."


I hope this helps.
