Singapore Airlines is planning to offer complimentary and unlimited inflight Wi-Fi access to all passengers starting on July 1, 2023, in a move that will include its entire fleet and almost all of its network.
The only requirement to access the free inflight Wi-Fi will be enrolment in the free KrisFlyer frequent flyer program. Passengers will be required to add the membership number to the reservation, either at the point of booking or while completing check-in.
Alongside First and Business Class passengers, members of the airline’s loyalty program flying in Premium Economy and Economy are already offered limited free access to the internet, capped at three and two hours of usage, respectively, since February 2023.
This year several airlines have announced plans to offer unlimited complimentary inflight Wi-Fi access a feature of their offering.
Emirates has offered complimentary onboard Wi-Fi to all passengers that are members of its Skywards frequent flyer program since May 2023, and, speaking at an event in Istanbul on May 12, the chairman of Turkish Airlines confirmed plans to do the same in the near future.
Meanwhile, airBaltic and Hawaiian have also announced plans to rollout SpaceX’s Starlink internet connectivity system for free across their fleets.
