Flight SN2257 to Copenhagen in Denmark on 9 November 2026 was the first flight of Brussels Airlines featuring high-speed Wi-Fi on-board. The new Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi powered by Starlink will be rolled out across the entire fleet for all passengers. Brussels Airlines plans to have 15 aircraft equipped with high-speed internet by first half of 2027.
Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi will enable passengers to experience an internet bandwidth above the clouds that, in many cases, is faster than their internet connection at home or in the office. OO-SBA, an Airbus A320neo, is the first Brussels Airlines aircraft equipped with the Wi-Fi. On Monday, it operated its first commercial flight with Wi-Fi on board: flight SN2257 to Copenhagen. This very press release is sent from an altitude of 12.000 meters, using Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi, powered by Starlink.
“Iām excited to see Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi being rolled out at Brussels Airlines. With it, weāre making high-speed internet an integral part of the travel experience – across all travel classes. Our product promise doesn’t end with the seats or the menu – today, seamless connectivity is part of what makes the onboard experience truly ā exceptional”, says Dieter Vranckx, chairman of Brussels Airlines and Chief Commercial Officer of Lufthansa Group.
Starlink is collaborating with the Lufthansa Group to equip approximately 850 aircraft across all of the Groupās airlines. With its low-Earth orbit satellite technology, Starlink enables watching video content, cloud-based working and other high-speed applications during flights. This makes Lufthansa Group the largest airline group in Europe to equip its fleet with this modern high-speed internet product.

To ensure a comfortable flight for everyone, guidelines have been drawn up to ensure the best possible internet experience whilst also setting out how this can be achieved without causing disruption to any passengers. This is intended to ensure an appropriate, relaxed and undisturbed travel experience for everyone on board.
Among other things, passengers are required to always wear headphones when playing audio and video content, to refrain from making voice and video calls, and not to broadcast live streams from on board. All passengers wishing to use the new Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi must agree to these terms of use. The high-speed internet will be free for all passengers across all booking classes, who have a Travel ID or Miles & More account.
More investments in passenger experience
Brussels Airlines is investing in an elevated passenger experience, across all cabins and on the entire network. A few examples are the complete renovation of The Loft (Brussels Airlinesā flagship lounge at Brussels Airport), the introduction of new high-quality tableware in Premium Economy, and an improved meal concept in Economy Class on long-haul flights.
