In early 2025, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) announced plans to introduce free Starlink Wi-Fi. There’s now an exciting update, as roughly 14 months later, rollout of the service has finally started.

If only he’d focus on his companies, like Tesla, Starlink, and SpaceX, because that’s his strength and a benefit to the world. His forays into politics and media have been destructive.
the only thing that's destructive is people like you telling us what is acceptable to think and believe
9C, think and believe whatever you wish. It won’t make it good or right, but, by all means, you do you, bruhthur.
Elon has great companies, those are undeniable facts. He is just a dick that’s also active on social media and politics. Aka lack of refinement in the Epstein class. There are dicks like him all over, he is just the most outspoken controversial one. But his companies are great. Don’t rule your life based on emotions.
Support Elon!

I see the irony in your statement 'don't rule your life based on emotions' as Musk has built a cult of personality, making people believe that his companies are 'great'.
Surprised they didn't equip the 3 A321LRs along with A320Neos considering they do long routes.
I'm surprised you are placing an article about SASsynavian implementing Elon's toy, but not the current war within the organization, after SAS just fired one of their most senior pilots, mr Mattias Thiel, who, more importantly, happened to be the leader of the Swedish pilot union for SAS. It's causing major tensions within the organization and may lead to further unrest and strikes. The official complaint, as I understood it: he apparently didn't do his union work in the way and within the deadlines SAS wanted. The union strongly disagrees here, and is apparently preparing a case. It really seems like they went full Scandinavian and made up a (rather ridiculous) reason to just get rid of someone they simply didn't like. Because it's otherwise nearly impossible to fire someone in Scandinavia, especially after having been employed somewhere for 28 years.
Anyway, their current wifi isn't working well and I'm not sure if I want to share any of my personal data with something that Musk is involved in. As SAS hardly has any long haul flights left, this is yet another reason to just fly Ryanair and easyJet on short European flights...
"It really seems like they went full Scandinavian and made up a (rather ridiculous) reason to just get rid of someone they simply didn't like." Wait, that's a 'Scandinavian'-thing? Sheesh. I thought that was just a corporation-thing; like, blaming layoffs on 'restructuring' or some other euphemism.
Is this the cause of all the OSL SAS cancelations lately? I havent seen much from ARN based cancelation for SAS....
The core frustration has been on the 333a and 359s where the current wifi is unuseable for most of the flights....or its just broken.....
they only have 14 frames for the longhaul and this is where they need it most...oy....
the 359 fleet is tapped out for utilization this summer. I see all 6 flying daily...when they have a MX issue it throws all thier schedule off....there is a single 333 in MX right now....but again the 333s are tapped out for the summer schedule....most often is see 7/8 flying daily...
also....AS needs it too on thier 5 789s....
Also the 321LRs are also highly utilized every day. So i don’t expect any of these to be done until rpbably november when there is a lag in the summer to Christmas schedule.
Ben, you have gotten SAS’ fleet numbers wrong as they have 81x A320neos.
To clarify - this also includes the SAS connect subsidary....total 82 320Neos are completed.....
