Brussels Airlines has launched free high-speed in-flight Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, with the first equipped aircraft operating its inaugural commercial service on Monday, 9 November.
Airbus A320neo OO-SBA operated flight SN2257 from Brussels to Copenhagen, becoming the first Brussels Airlines aircraft to offer the new connectivity service. The airline plans to equip 15 aircraft with Starlink by the first half of 2027, as part of the wider Lufthansa Group rollout.
The service will be free for passengers in all travel classes who have a Travel ID or Miles & More account. It will allow passengers to stream video, work online and use cloud-based applications at high speeds, using Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit satellite network.
To ensure a comfortable environment on board, passengers must use headphones when watching videos or listening to audio. Voice and video calls, as well as live streaming from the aircraft, are not permitted.
The Lufthansa Group plans to equip approximately 850 aircraft across its airlines with Starlink, making it the largest airline group in Europe to introduce the technology across its fleet.
Brussels Airlines says the introduction is part of its broader investment in the passenger experience, alongside improvements to its THE LOFT lounge at Brussels Airport, Premium Economy catering and its Economy Class meal concept.
