Wizz Air has announced a deal with Elon Musk's Starlink to bring satellite internet to its entire fleet from 2027, joining a wave of European carriers adopting the technology that has so far largely bypassed the budget end of the market.
"Ultra-low-cost travel has always been about making opportunities accessible to more people," said Ian Malin, chief commercial officer of Wizz Air. "In 2027, we're taking that philosophy into the space era."
Eurowings, which operates on a low-cost model, is also due to begin a Starlink rollout later this year as part of a group-wide deal announced by parent company Lufthansa Group.
