Edelweiss equips its entire fleet with high-speed internet from Starlink

Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss will equip its entire fleet with Starlink's high-performance, high-speed internet. The plan is to equip all Airbus A320, Airbus A320neo, and Airbus A350 aircraft. This will allow Edelweiss passengers to benefit from a fast and stable internet connection on board.

The rollout is part of the Lufthansa Group's announced connectivity initiative, which is equipping its fleet of approximately 850 aircraft across the group with state-of-the-art satellite technology for onboard internet. The aim is to provide passengers across all travel classes with an online experience comparable to that on the ground. Applications such as messaging, streaming, and cloud-based work should thus be easily usable even during flights.

For Edelweiss, the new internet solution is another important building block in the continuous development of the travel experience on both short- and long-haul flights. This investment underscores Edelweiss's commitment to offering its guests contemporary comfort, modern technologies, and a high-quality product throughout the entire travel chain.

The exact timetable for the gradual equipping of the Edelweiss fleet is currently still being planned.
