SAS scores 52 out of 100, which is mixed, and sits 10 of 18 on the board. Nobody publishes per-tail data for this fleet, so this is a number about the airline and nothing narrower.

About half the fleet equipped and still installing; free for EuroBonus members (free to join) since 2026-03-24 (SAS/Business Travel News Europe).
Every aircraft SAS flies, by system, priced. The rows add up to the published ConnectScore, and the top row on its own is the next-gen number. The build fails if they stop adding up.
| Segment | Aircraft | Share | Share of the fleet | Quality | Free | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starlink next-gen row Free for EuroBonus members, and joining is free. Reported SAS; Business Travel News Europe · 2026-03-24 | 60 | 48.8% | 1.00 | 1.00 | 48.8 | |
| no wifi inferred E190/E195, CRJ900 and ATR 72. SAS's availability table puts this between 36 and 45; we take 45, because on an unpublished split the count that cannot overstate wifi is the larger no-wifi one. Reported inferred: absent from SAS's own wifi availability table · 2026-07 | 45 | 36.6% | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.0 | |
| Viasat or Panasonic The pre-Starlink mainline fit. Both systems named, no split published. Reported SAS connectivity page · 2026-07 | 18 | 14.6% | 0.22 to 0.55 | 0.85 | 2.7 to 6.8 | |
| ConnectScore We publish the floor. The ceiling is 56, and the gap is the part of the fleet whose split nobody has published. | 123 | 100% | 52 to 56 | |||
| Next-gen odds, the top row on its own | 48.8% | 49 |
123 aircraft with a published system. Every system on the fleet is named and the counts are not published, so the score is a range. Points are shown to one decimal place; the unrounded rows sum to 51.52, which rounds to the published 52.
Unpublished splits: Viasat or Panasonic (18 aircraft). SAS connectivity page would settle it.
Four things, in the order they become useful. Every one of them is available at tier C, which is the tier this page was derived at. Anything this fleet cannot support has been cut from the list.
Aircraft assignments firm up roughly 48 hours before departure and they can still move up to pushback. Whatever this page says today, the answer for your flight is more settled then.
SAS publishes an amenity marker against each flight in its own booking flow, and that marker is about the aircraft now assigned to it. It is the closest thing to a per-flight answer this fleet has. The airline is asserting it; nobody has verified the install.
Roughly 49% of the fleet carries Starlink today, so a different departure is a real second draw. Whether that is worth doing is a question about the change fee on your fare, and it is cheaper to know the answer before the gate than at it.
Nobody has load-tested a full cabin on any of these systems, so a good score is not a promise about the hour you fly. Downloading the deck is the move that makes the odds stop mattering.
SAS has Starlink on 60 of its 123 aircraft (49%) as of 2026-07, so it is a real possibility but not the default. Its ConnectScore is 52 out of 100, in the mixed band.
On SAS it is free for loyalty members. ConnectScore multiplies the fleet share by a free-for-you factor, so a paid or unconfirmed free claim scores lower than the same fleet given away free.
60 of 123, or 49% of the fleet. Compiled from public airline announcements, July 2026.
Everything on this page comes from what SAS has published about its own fleet. Nobody has published what it was like in the seat. If you flew SAS this month, thirty seconds here is a data point nobody else has.
