Current and Evolving WiFi Systems
Discover Airlines currently offers internet access on almost all of its long-haul aircraft through its Discover FlyNet® service. This system is part of the broader Lufthansa Group's FlyNet ecosystem, which traditionally relies on geostationary (GEO) satellites.
Starting in autumn 2025, Discover Airlines began a gradual installation of a new multi-orbit Wi-Fi system from Panasonic Avionics on its Airbus A330 long-haul fleet. This advanced technology combines GEO satellites with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites from Eutelsat OneWeb to enhance connectivity.
Expected Speeds and Capabilities
The new Panasonic Avionics multi-orbit system is designed to deliver high-speed internet, with capabilities of up to 200 Mbps, aiming for a performance similar to 5G networks on the ground. This upgrade significantly improves the ability to surf the internet and stream content during flights.
As part of the Lufthansa Group, Discover Airlines is also preparing for a fleet-wide rollout of Starlink, with installations beginning in the second half of 2026 and expected completion by 2029. Starlink is anticipated to offer download speeds between 100-300 Mbps with low latency, supporting activities like 4K streaming and video calls.
