Prepare to say goodbye to the days of agonizingly slow and expensive in-flight Wi-Fi! Air France is set to transform its onboard connectivity experience, offering free ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi across its entire fleet beginning in 2025. This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant step forward for the airline, providing passengers with a “ground-like” internet experience at no additional cost.
To access this new service, passengers simply need to log into their Flying Blue account, the loyalty program of the Air France-KLM Group. Don’t have an account? No worries, creating one onboard is quick and easy! This cutting-edge connectivity will gradually be rolled out on all Air France aircraft, replacing the existing Wi-Fi service.
To achieve this level of connectivity, Air France has partnered with Starlink, a global leader in satellite-based internet. Utilizing the largest constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit, Starlink promises high-speed, low-latency internet access, even in the most remote locations. This partnership ensures a stable, fast, and secure online experience for passengers, regardless of their flight path.
With this new service, travelers can effortlessly stay connected during their flights. They can keep in touch with friends and family, access live news updates, play online video games, and stream movies and series, all without worrying about data limits or high costs. The service will be compatible with smartphones, tablets, and laptops, allowing each customer to connect multiple devices simultaneously.
The rollout of this revolutionary Wi-Fi service will begin in the summer of 2025, initially equipping Air France’s entire fleet, including regional aircraft, with this advanced technology. During the transition period, the airline will maintain its current connectivity options on planes that are not yet upgraded, including a complimentary “Message Pass” for Flying Blue members and a paid option for additional services.
Air France is committed to enhancing the in-flight experience for its passengers, ensuring that they remain connected and entertained throughout their journeys. This initiative reaffirms the airline’s dedication to providing top-notch service and modern amenities for all travelers.
