KLM will offer free high-speed Wi-Fi on intercontinental flights from mid-2027, the Dutch carrier says. The service will come to every cabin class and be introduced in stages.

The airline is using Starlink for the connection. According to KLM, passengers will be able to browse with no data limit, listen to music, stream films and make video calls.

Access will require Flying Blue membership, the Air France-KLM frequent flyer programme.

KLM already offers free Wi-Fi on most of its European flights.
