荷航选择 Starlink:2027 年中起洲际航班免费高速 Wi-Fi,2028 年中覆盖全机队
KLM picks Starlink for in-flight Wi-Fi starting in 2027
SpaceX 的 Starlink 再添一家大型航司客户:荷兰皇家航空(KLM)将在 2027 年中开始于洲际航班上免费提供高速 Wi-Fi,并计划到 2028 年中扩展至全机队。该消息由荷航总裁兼 CEO Marjan Rintel 在一场活动上宣布;其姊妹航司法航已经运营配备 Starlink 的飞机。目前荷航洲际航班仅向 Flying Blue 会员免费开放短信,宽带接入需另购通行证;今年早些时候荷航已在配备相应设备的欧洲航班上推出免费互联网,Starlink 将把高速、低延迟连接带到长途航线。
SpaceX’s Starlink has added another major airline to its customer list, with KLM set to launch free high-speed Wi-Fi on intercontinental flights in mid-2027 before expanding the service to its full fleet by mid-2028.
The announcement was made by KLM president and CEO Marjan Rintel during an event on Wednesday to celebrate the release of the company’s 2026 edition of the Delft Blue miniature house.
The Dutch carrier will follow sister airline Air France, which already operates Starlink-equipped aircraft.

For KLM passengers, the agreement will make long flights considerably more connected, whether they want to watch their own entertainment, catch up on work or stay in touch with family. KLM currently offers its Flying Blue members free text messaging on intercontinental flights with Wi-Fi, while broader access requires a paid pass.
The airline also introduced free internet on equipped European flights earlier this year. Starlink will elevate its in-flight experience considerably with complimentary high-speed, low latency connectivity to the long-haul network.
Starlink has also reached Canadian skies through WestJet and regional flights on Air Canada, while Royal Air Maroc has signed an agreement targeting fleet-wide installation by 2027, becoming the first African airline to make the move to Starlink.
