On-board the A320neo, guests will experience an Internet bandwidth above the clouds that, in many cases, is faster than their Internet connection at home or in the office. The leading provider Starlink is collaborating with the Lufthansa Group to equip 850 aircraft across all of its airlines.
Among other things, passengers are required to always wear headphones when playing audio and video content, to refrain from making voice and video calls, and not to broadcast live streams from aboard the aircraft.
The system is supported by low-earth satellite technology and enables watching video content, cloud-based work, and other high-speed applications during the flight. This makes Lufthansa Group the largest airline group in Europe to equip its fleet with this modern high-speed internet product. With its ambitious project timeline, the Lufthansa Group is moving quickly to bring the new technology to guests.
In addition to Lufthansa, the other Group airlines SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, ITA Airways, Edelweiss, Discover Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Lufthansa City Airlines, and Eurowings are currently preparing to roll out the new technology.
