Lufthansa Group Partners with Starlink to Deliver High Speed Internet Across all Airlines

On Tuesday (January 13, 2026), The Lufthansa Group announced that they will equip all of the Group’s approximately 850 aircraft with high-speed broadband internet access from 2026 onwards, both within the existing fleet and on all new aircraft.  Lufthansa has selected the leading provider Starlink for the comprehensive upgrade, which offers the fastest inflight internet connection in the industry today.  The system is based on satellite technology and enables internet access in the air just like on the ground.


In Tuesday’s announcement, Lufthansa Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, Dieter Vranckx, said,


“In our anniversary year, in which we are celebrating Lufthansa’s 100th birthday, we have decided to introduce a new high-speed internet solution from Starlink for all our airlines.  The Lufthansa Group is taking the next step and setting an essential milestone for the premium travel experience of our customers.  Connectivity on board plays an important role today, and with Starlink, we are not only investing in the best product on the market, but also in the satisfaction of our passengers.”

 

Starlink’s higher bandwidth and speed will enable streaming, cloud-based working, and other high-speed applications during flights in the future.  The new internet service will be free of charge for all status customers and Travel ID users across all travel classes.  This makes Lufthansa Group the largest airline group in Europe to upgrade their fleet with state-of-the-art broadband internet, as no other airline will equip more aircraft with Starlink technology. The gradual introduction of Starlink will begin as early as the second half of 2026, and by 2029, the entire fleet will be equipped with the new connectivity offering.
