BT to deliver mobile connectivity for easyJet network, connecting crew, aircrafts and airports across Europe

BT has today announced it is working with the UK’s largest airline, easyJet, to deliver thousands of mobile connections to keep its flight crew, aircrafts and airports linked up across Europe.

BT will provide 23,000 mobile connections across EE’s award-winning network supporting easyJet’s operations in 35 countries and over 150 airports, from Gatwick to Gran Canaria.

The airline provider will use the EE network to connect a range of devices and will enable all pilots and cabin crew to seamlessly access flight information and real-time training on the go.

BT will also support easyJet to: 

• Deliver smart messaging to keep customers updated on their flight

• Connect iPads that pilots and crew use to provide real-time flight information

• Connect smartphones, mobile phones and aircraft phones to allow seamless communication between airline colleagues

• Provide laptops and other hardware for workers.

All devices will be equipped with eSIMs, offering a smarter, more efficient way to manage mobile connectivity.

eSIMs enable remote setup, enhance security, reduce costs, and simplify logistics—supporting global operations while reducing waste and improving user experience.

Chris Sims, Chief Commercial Officer at BT Business, said: “This partnership with easyJet is about delivering the smart, seamless connectivity which is crucial when operating at scale.

“By equipping thousands of devices with eSIMs on EE’s award-winning network, we’re enabling easyJet to manage connections remotely, switch networks across borders, and reduce the complexity of traditional SIMs.

“It’s a future-ready solution that enhances security, boosts efficiency, and keeps teams connected when they need it most.”
