Air France is set to enhance its onboard Wi-Fi service, marking a significant move towards providing an upgraded travel experience. Starting in 2025, the airline will gradually introduce ultra-high-speed connectivity for passengers, aiming to offer a "ground-like" internet experience. This new service will be free of charge across all travel cabins and accessible by logging into a Flying Blue account. The rollout will eventually cover all Air France aircraft, replacing the current Wi-Fi offering.

To implement this advanced Wi-Fi service, Air France has partnered with Starlink, recognized as a leader in global connectivity. Utilizing the largest constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency internet access worldwide, including remote areas. This partnership aims to deliver a stable and secure user experience.

During flights, passengers will have the capability to stay connected with friends and family, keep up with live news updates, play online video games, and stream TV shows and movies. The service can be accessed from smartphones, tablets, and laptops, allowing multiple devices to connect simultaneously.
