Read our Privacy noticeA European airline has announced it will offer free wifi in its cabins for the first time. KLM follows the likes of airBaltic, which was the first European airline to offer free Starlink internet, operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, on its Airbus A220-300 fleet. Other European airlines offer free wifi but with certain restrictions, such as Norwegian, which offers 15 minutes of free wifi or Air France, which offers high-speed wifi on some aircraft but only supports messaging on others. Virgin Atlantic became the first UK airline to offer free, fleet-wide Starlink wifi but will not start rolling out until the end of this year.
