Starlink Wi-Fi on Wizz Air flights
Wizz Air will introduce Starlink connectivity across its entire fleet from 2027, becoming the first European ultra-low-cost airline to equip its aircraft with satellite internet technology developed by SpaceX.
The novelty aims to make available even to low-cost passengers a high-speed, reliable and low-latency internet connection during the flight. A service that, until now, has often been associated mainly with premium travel experiences or higher classes.
With the installation of Starlink, the time spent on board can become connected time. Passengers will be able to stay in touch with family, friends and work even during the journey, using the internet connection at over 9,000 meters above sea level.
The installation plan will start in 2027 and will progressively affect the entire Wizz Air fleet. The airline's next-generation aircraft will also be equipped with Starlink, with the aim of offering a uniform digital experience regardless of route or destinations.
For Travellers, the introduction of on-board connectivity represents a concrete change in the flight experience: it will be possible to surf online, communicate and use digital services even during the journey, without sacrificing the airline's accessible fare model.
The agreement with Starlink confirms Wizz Air's desire to evolve the concept of ultra-low-cost air transport, integrating advanced technologies on board and making in-flight connectivity an accessible service to an increasingly large number of passengers.
