KLM to Offer Free High-Speed Wi-Fi on Intercontinental Flights

Starting in mid-2027, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will offer its passengers free high-speed Wi-Fi on intercontinental flights. The new service will be available in all cabin classes and will be rolled out in phases.

Following the introduction of free high-speed Wi-Fi on European flights, KLM is extending Wi-Fi to its intercontinental network.

During their flight, passengers will be able to enjoy fast and unlimited internet access in order to send emails, browse the internet, listen to music, play games, or stream films and series.

Wi-Fi, powered by Starlink

KLM has chosen Starlink to deliver ultra-fast Wi-Fi on intercontinental flights. Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet from a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit, with coverage over oceans and remote routes as well as land.

It delivers fast, reliable broadband that can support email, browse the internet, listen to music, play games, or stream movies and TV series. From the moment passengers and crew step aboard, Starlink keeps them connected throughout the flight, anywhere in the world.

Free Wi-Fi service will be available to Flying Blue members. Passengers can log in with their Flying Blue account to get online.

Passengers who are not yet Flying Blue members can sign up before their flight or during the flight via the onboard portal. Once registered, they can use the free Wi-Fi service on equipped aircraft.

Since the beginning of this year, KLM has also been offering free, fast and unlimited Wi-Fi on most of its European fleet. This made KLM one of the first European airlines to offer free internet access to passengers traveling within Europe.
