SAS Starts Starlink Wi‑Fi Rollout With Free Access for EuroBonus Members

The low‑Earth orbit service promises fast gate‑to‑gate internet with better coverage at high latitudes.

Overview

  • SAS has begun activating Starlink inflight Wi‑Fi on Airbus A320 family aircraft, with service live for passengers and free access for EuroBonus members.
  • The rollout starts with A320 and A320neo jets, and the airline says a substantial share of the fleet could be connected before the summer.
  • Free connectivity for loyalty members comes through a new commercial partnership with mobile operator 3.
  • Starlink’s network advertises speeds over 500 Mbps with low latency, which supports streaming, gaming, and work apps from pushback to arrival.
  • SAS was the first airline in Europe to equip an A320 with Starlink after a January 14 demo flight, and installs on more aircraft types are planned later this year pending regulatory approvals.
