Low cost carrier Wizz Air has announced it will roll out fast-speed Starlink internet connectivity onboard its aircraft from 2027. All of the airline’s next-generation aircraft are expected to be equipped with Starlink. Wizz Air’s Chief Commercial Officer, Ian Malin, said, “Ultra-low-cost travel has always been about making the flying experience accessible to as many people as possible. In 2027, we are taking this philosophy into the space age. Our customers should not have to choose between affordable fares and reliable internet access on board to stay connected to the people, activities and moments that matter most. We are proud to lead this change by partnering with Starlink and bringing maximum benefits to Wizz Air passengers”.

Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity through a network of low-Earth-orbit satellites. On aircraft, Starlink enables passengers to access fast WiFi throughout the flight, supporting activities such as video streaming, online gaming and video conferencing with performance comparable to that on the ground.
