"Lufthansa Group has announced a partnership with Starlink that will bring high-speed internet connectivity to every aircraft across all its carriers. This means that aircraft across the group's brands, from Lufthansa, SWISS, and Austrian Airlines to Brussels Airlines, would be able to enjoy high-speed internet access using the industry-leading satellite internet solution."
"Starlink's low-Earth orbit satellites are expected to provide significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency than traditional in-flight Wi-Fi, which should enable streaming, online work, and other data-intensive applications for passengers during flights. Starlink-powered internet is expected to be available on the first commercial flights as early as the second half of 2026. The rollout will continue through the decade, with the entire Lufthansa Group fleet scheduled to be fully equipped with Starlink by 2029."
"In our anniversary year, in which we are celebrating Lufthansa's 100th birthday, we have decided to introduce a new high-speed internet solution from Starlink for all our airlines. The Lufthansa Group is taking the next step and setting an essential milestone for the premium travel experience of our customers."
Lufthansa Group will install Starlink technology on both existing aircraft and all newly delivered planes across its carriers, including Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines. Starlink's low-Earth orbit satellites aim to deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency than traditional in-flight Wi‑Fi, enabling streaming, online work, and other data-intensive passenger uses. Initial Starlink service is expected on commercial flights as early as the second half of 2026, with full fleet installation targeted by 2029 and rollout continuing through the decade. The group will provide free high-speed access to status customers and Travel ID users regardless of cabin class.
