Qatar Airways, a global leader in aviation technology, is nearing the completion of its Boeing 777 fleet-wide upgrade with Starlink’s high-speed internet, one of the fastest Starlink installations in the aviation industry. The airline is now expanding this connectivity to its Airbus A350 fleet, becoming the first airline in the world to equip this aircraft type with Starlink Wi-Fi.

The expansion to the Airbus A350 marks a significant milestone in the airline’s journey to redefine connectivity in the skies.
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 in the world to begin equipping the Airbus A350 with Starlink.”
This upgrade, carefully timed to avoid operational disruptions, reflects Qatar Airways’ continued investment in passenger experience, ensuring greater comfort, convenience, and service for travelers. Qatar Airways remains a leader in delivering industry-leading, high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity and award-winning service to passengers worldwide.
