"KLM is rolling out free Wi-Fi in phases across most of the aircraft used for its European routes. As of last Thursday (January 22), half of the European fleet is equipped with free internet service. In the coming years, WiFi will be available on all A321neo, Embraer 195-E2 and a portion of the B737-800 aircraft."
"We listen carefully to what our passengers value and free internet has been on their wish list for some time. Through this step, we are making travel within Europe more personal and comfortable: everyone can plan their flight in their own way and stay connected. We are delighted to realise this now for our passengers."
"Virgin Atlantic became the first UK airline to announce free, fast, and, soon to be, fleet-wide Wi-Fi across its Airbus A330neo, A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft, powered by SpaceX's Starlink satellite technology. Full completion is expected by the end of 2027, offering gate-to-gate connectivity. British Airways offers paid Wi-Fi on most flights, with a major upgrade to free, gate-to-gate Starlink connectivity starting in early 2026."
KLM has introduced free, unlimited Wi-Fi on its European flights and is implementing the service in phases across most aircraft on those routes. Half of the European fleet was equipped with free internet as of January 22. Wi‑Fi will be installed on all A321neo and Embraer 195‑E2 jets and on part of the B737‑800 fleet in coming years. Passengers can log in or register as Flying Blue members to access unlimited internet and may connect once seated or shortly after take-off in some countries. KLM added 12 new A321neo aircraft since August, which feature modern, comfortable seats. Other carriers such as Virgin Atlantic and British Airways are also upgrading in-flight connectivity, with Virgin rolling out Starlink-powered free Wi‑Fi fleet-wide by end of 2027 and British Airways planning a Starlink upgrade from early 2026. Aer Lingus continues to offer paid Wi‑Fi options including messaging.
