The largest airline to work with Starlink and roll out a free high-speed, low-latency internet access experience on board particular aircraft and itineraries is now Qatar Airways. The Starlink service will further improve the five-star onboard atmosphere provided by Qatar Airways. Once the service is operational, passengers will have access to ultra-fast Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 350 Mbps, which can be utilized for a number of internet-based applications like video streaming their favorite entertainment and sports videos, gaming, enhanced online surfing, and much more.
The deal with Starlink will enable passengers to enjoy a rich, seamless Wi-Fi connectivity experience aboard with a simple one-click access as a top 5-star airline that is still dedicated to providing the finest passenger experience possible. The cutting-edge Starlink satellite communications system, the largest satellite internet constellation in the world and one that SpaceX designed and runs, powers the fast and responsive network. The pre-launch stage of the rollout strategy for the whole fleet of Qatar Airways is now being carried out by Starlink and Qatar Airways.

In addition to being in accordance with our technological adoption strategy, which we lead in our industry, this new relationship provides Starlink with a fantastic opportunity to engage with our international passengers. We are eager for our passengers to enjoy this cutting-edge improvement to Qatar Airways’ in-flight experience.
With Starlink set to support the entire Qatar Airways fleet, passengers traveling between more than 150 destinations around the world will be able to stay connected with the most cutting-edge high-speed internet service from space, according to SpaceX’s Vice President of Starlink Commercial Sales Jonathan Hofeller. “Qatar Airways continues to lead the way prioritizing the passenger experience,” he added. In reality, as soon as passengers board the aircraft, the internet functions flawlessly from gate to gate while they are in the comfort of their seats.
