SAS is introducing next‑generation high‑speed onboard WiFi across its fleet, giving EuroBonus members fast, reliable, gate‑to‑gate connectivity. Powered by Starlink’s advanced low-Earth orbit satellite constellation, passengers can experience speeds of up to 500+ Mbps as a major upgrade to the digital experience onboard.

As part of the rollout, SAS has partnered with mobile network operator 3 to enable free WiFi access for EuroBonus members – a first step of a long-term commercial partnership. 3 makes it possible for EuroBonus members to connect onboard for free from 24th March onwards. As Starlink installations expand across the Airbus A320 family, and eventually the rest of the SAS-operated fleet, SAS expects a substantial share of the fleet to be connected before the summer season.
With more than 10.000 Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit, passengers and crew can experience consistent performance throughout the journey even at northern latitudes and on routes where connectivity has traditionally been more challenging.
Starlink, the fastest WiFi in the sky, delivers reliable, high-speed, low-latency inflight connectivity. SAS is the first airline in Europe to introduce Starlink on an Airbus A320 aircraft. The rollout will initially focus on the A320 fleet, with additional aircraft types to follow later in the year, subject to regulatory approvals.
