Qatar Airways is nearing completion of its Boeing 777 fleet-wide upgrade with Starlink’s high-speed internet, solidifying its position as a leader in in-flight innovation. The airline’s rapid deployment marks one of the fastest and most ambitious Starlink installations in aviation.
In a new milestone, Qatar Airways will begin outfitting its Airbus A350 fleet with Starlink Wi-Fi this month, making it the first airline to offer this cutting-edge connectivity on the Airbus A350.
Building on its success with the Boeing 777, the expansion will allow even more passengers to enjoy complimentary, ultra-fast Wi-Fi for streaming, gaming, and seamless work at 35,000 feet.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, stated, “We are just a few aircraft away from completing a full fleet-wide upgrade of our Boeing 777s with Starlink connectivity—an industry-first for a widebody fleet of this scale. In April, we will become the first airline to equip the Airbus A350 with Starlink, continuing our efforts to redefine connectivity in the skies.”
With over 80 percent of its Boeing 777 fleet now equipped with Starlink, Qatar Airways has already completed more than 6,000 global flights offering the fastest gate-to-gate Wi-Fi in the MENA region.
The Airbus A350 upgrade is part of Qatar Airways’ ongoing commitment to improving the passenger experience. The airline, named Skytrax’s World’s Best Airline in 2024, ensures that passengers enjoy superior comfort, convenience, and service along with seamless, high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity.
