SAS to Offer Free, High-Speed Wi-Fi Across Entire Fleet with Starlink Technology by 2025

(IN SHORT) SAS is set to launch free, high-speed Wi-Fi powered by SpaceX’s Starlink technology across its fleet by the end of 2025. This service will provide passengers with continuous, reliable internet, even in remote regions like the North Pole, North Sea, and Atlantic Ocean. Unlike traditional in-flight systems, SAS will offer uninterrupted connectivity from boarding to disembarkation, supporting multiple devices at once. This move is part of SAS’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience and supporting sustainability through fuel-efficient aeroterminals. EuroBonus members will also receive this premium service at no additional cost.

(PRESS RELEASE) Stockholm, Sweden, 2025-Jan-29 — /Travel PR News/ — SAS is set to revolutionize in-flight connectivity with the introduction of free, high-speed Wi-Fi, powered by SpaceX’s Starlink technology. Starlink, the world’s largest satellite constellation in low Earth orbit, will provide SAS passengers in all classes with seamless, low-latency internet access, free of charge. This transformative service will be gradually rolled out across the entire SAS fleet starting at the end of 2025. EuroBonus members will also enjoy this premium service at no extra cost.

Starlink’s innovative satellite technology ensures reliable, high-speed internet access anywhere in the world, even in remote and challenging regions like the North Pole, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. These areas, previously prone to disruptions with conventional satellite services, will now benefit from uninterrupted connectivity.

Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, shared his excitement: “With Starlink on board, we’re connecting our passengers to the world like never before. This marks the end of frustrating disconnections and the beginning of a new era in connectivity. Whether crossing the Atlantic or flying over the North Sea, our passengers can rely on fast, stable, and seamless internet. At SAS, we’re committed to delivering excellence, and this partnership allows us to enhance our services for passengers.”

Unlike traditional in-flight Wi-Fi systems, which activate after takeoff and disconnect during descent, SAS passengers will enjoy continuous connectivity from the moment they board until they disembark, making this a significant improvement in the in-flight experience.

Jason Fritch, SpaceX Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to offer reliable, high-speed internet throughout the SAS fleet. With Starlink’s technology, passengers can enjoy the same quality of connectivity they would expect at home, even while flying over the Atlantic, North Sea, and North Pole—regions that previously posed challenges for in-flight internet services.”

Verhagen added, “This breakthrough in gate-to-gate connectivity will greatly enhance the passenger experience, providing the freedom to work, stay connected, or enjoy uninterrupted entertainment throughout their journey.”

In addition to boosting connectivity, the new Starlink aeroterminals are designed to minimize aerodynamic drag, improving fuel efficiency and contributing to SAS’s sustainability goals by reducing the environmental impact of air travel.

The service will also be compatible with multiple devices, allowing passengers to seamlessly switch between smartphones, tablets, and laptops without compromise.

SAS will begin the phased rollout of this exciting new service in late 2025, setting a new standard in in-flight connectivity.
