Wizz Air, the Hungarian ultra-low-cost carrier, says it will introduce Starlink satellite connectivity across its fleet from 2027. Multiple outlets report that the airline will become the first European budget or ultra-low-cost airline to offer Starlink Wi‑Fi on board, targeting “always-connected” travel for passengers. Wizz Air states that installations are set to begin in 2027 and that its new-generation aircraft are expected to be equipped with the technology. The announcements position Starlink as a way to address long-standing limitations in inflight connectivity for low-cost carriers, where providing high-quality Wi‑Fi has often been difficult to finance and deliver consistently. While the outlets frame the move as a first for this segment in Europe, they consistently describe Wizz Air’s plan as fleet-wide, with timing tied to 2027 deployments and aircraft rollouts. The company’s messaging emphasizes improved connectivity within the ultra-low-cost market rather than changes to fare structure or routes.
