Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is introducing satellite-based internet connectivity on its aircraft. Starlink technology will provide passengers with fast and reliable internet throughout their journey, from gate to gate.
Across travel classes, the internet service will be available free of charge for Miles & More members and Travel ID users.
Guests will be able to send messages, share photos and use a range of online services.
To ensure that everyone feels comfortable on board, a few simple rules apply when using the new internet connection. Guests watching videos or listening to audio content are asked to use headphones and pay attention to crew announcements. Voice and video calls
are not permitted, nor is broadcasting live content during the flight. Additionally, passengers sharing photos, videos or other content from the aircraft should respect the privacy of other passengers and crew.
The offering is being introduced across the Lufthansa Group under the name Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi powered by Starlink.
At SWISS, the first aircraft to be equipped with the new technology is an Airbus A320neo. The aircraft, registered HB-JDM and named Iseltwald, enters scheduled service on September 28 2026.
SWISS will equip three aircraft from the Airbus A320 family with the new internet connectivity. The installation will continue gradually across the fleet.
By the end of 2029, the entire SWISS fleet is expected to be equipped with the technology.
