Qatar Airways Aim Starlink Upgrade
Qatar Airways, the world’s largest carrier to offer Starlink high-speed internet on board, is nearing completion of the Starlink installation on all of its Boeing 777 widebody aircraft.
“We are only a few Boeing 777s away from the Starlink upgrade and are the first airline in the industry to operate a widebody fleet of this size,” said Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, Qatar Airways’ Group Chief Engineer. In April, we will be the first airline in the world to begin installing Starlink on our Airbus A350.
This is another important step as we continue to redefine connectivity in the sky. We are committed to continuously improving the WiFi experience on our aircraft to ensure that our guests enjoy even more convenience and personalized service,” he said.
Over 80 percent of Boeing 777 fleet is now equipped with Starlink. The airline has operated more than 6,000 flights worldwide, with gate-to-gate Wi-Fi connectivity that is unmatched by any other airline in the MENA region.
“The Airbus A350 upgrade reflects Qatar Airways’ continued investment in enhancing the guest experience on every flight as it flies on key strategic routes,” said the Chairman.
With a carefully timed installation to avoid any potential operational delays or disruptions, Qatar Airways is the world’s best airline.
Voted by Skytrax in 2024 as the industry leader for delivering exceptional onboard Wi-Fi connectivity and award-winning passenger service, no matter where it flies.
