SAS is introducing a new in-flight connectivity with free, high-speed Wi-Fi. Engineered by SpaceX, Starlink is the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit that will provide free SAS passengers in all travel classes with high-speed, low-latency internet. SAS will begin the phased rollout on their entire fleet at the end of 2025, and EuroBonus members will enjoy this premium feature at no cost.
Reliable connectivity
Starlink delivers internet worldwide and leverages advanced satellites to provide connectivity across oceans and remote locations, including challenging regions like the North Pole, the Atlantic Ocean, and the North Sea—areas previously affected by disruptions from conventional satellite services.
“By introducing this new technology, we’re connecting our passengers to the world like never before,” says Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS. “We’re putting an end to frustrating interruptions and ushering in a new era of connectivity. Whether flying over the Atlantic or the North Sea, our passengers can now count on a connection that is as stable and seamless as it is fast. This is about giving our customers the best and ensuring SAS remains synonymous with excellence.”
SAS passengers can enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity from the moment they board until they disembark, significantly improving the current systems that activate only after takeoff and disconnect during descent.
“We’re excited to provide reliable, high-speed internet across the entire SAS fleet and help level up the in-flight experiences for passengers and crew from gate to gate,” said Jason Fritch, SpaceX Vice President of Starlink Enterprise Sales. “We’re especially proud that Starlink can offer connectivity for passengers as good, if not better, than at their homes while flying across the Atlantic, North Sea, and North Pole, which historically have been challenging for in-flight internet.”
“This is a game-changer for our travelers,” Verhagen adds. “Gate-to-gate connectivity isn’t just an improvement — it’s a breakthrough in convenience and reliability. It gives our customers the freedom to work seamlessly, stay connected, and enjoy uninterrupted entertainment throughout their flight.”
Smarter, more efficient, and lighter design
Starlink aeroterminals are designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption, supporting SAS’ broader sustainability initiatives to drive more sustainable air travel.
Seamless, multi-device compatibility
The service will support multiple devices simultaneously, allowing passengers to stay productive or entertained across smartphones, tablets, and laptops without compromise.
SAS will begin introducing free high-speed Wi-Fi during the end of 2025.
