Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is set to introduce next-generation high-speed onboard Wi-Fi, powered by Starlink’s advanced low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation.
Additionally, SAS has partnered with mobile network operator 3, which offers free Wi-Fi access for EuroBonus members.
EuroBonus and Starlink
From 24 March, 2026, EuroBonus members will be able to connect with the onboard Wi-Fi for free.
Moreover, Starlink installations will be expanded to the Airbus A320 and, eventually, to the rest of the SAS-operated fleet. SAS expects a substantial share of the fleet to be connected before the summer season.
“Connectivity has become a natural part of everyday life, including when travelling. With this launch, we are taking a major step toward offering our customers a more flexible, productive and enjoyable time on board. Whether they want to work, create, play or stay in touch, this solution brings the onboard experience closer to how people live today”, said Paul Verhagen, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at SAS.
The Starlink rollout will initially focus on the A320 fleet, with other aircraft types to follow later in the year, subject to regulatory approvals.
Successful demo flight in January
Before its launch, SAS conducted a dedicated demonstration flight on 14 January 2026, where guests experienced the Starlink-powered connection in real flight conditions.
The content was shared across SAS’s channels, increasing transparency and offering its customers a closer look at the high-speed onboard connectivity.
With more than 10,000 Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit, passengers and crew can now experience consistent Wi-Fi performance throughout the journey, even at latitudes and on routes where connectivity has been more challenging.
