Qatar Airways has become the first airline globally to equip its Boeing 787-8 aircraft with Starlink, marking a significant milestone in aviation connectivity. The airline has also completed the installation of Starlink across its Airbus A350 fleet, achieving this feat in just eight months by December 2025. This advancement brings the total number of Starlink-connected widebody aircraft in Qatar Airways' fleet to nearly 120, offering passengers ultra-fast Wi-Fi on routes spanning six continents.
The rollout of Starlink on Qatar Airways' fleet is the fastest and most ambitious in global aviation history. Within 14 months, the airline completed the installation on its Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft and has now expanded to the Boeing 787 Dreamliners. This positions Qatar Airways as a leader in long-haul and ultra-long-haul connectivity, with over 11 million passengers already benefiting from the service since its launch in October 2024.
Passengers on nearly 120 widebody aircraft, which account for over 58% of Qatar Airways' fleet, can now enjoy high-speed connectivity at up to 500 Mbps. This allows for uninterrupted streaming, video calls, and real-time productivity, surpassing many home broadband networks. The airline is extending this service across an increasing number of routes, including flights to the Americas, Australia, and prominent routes in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Qatar Airways' commitment to enhancing passenger experience is evident in its pioneering efforts to integrate Starlink technology, reinforcing its reputation as the world's best airline. The airline continues to lead the industry with the largest Starlink-equipped widebody fleet, offering unmatched connectivity and convenience for travellers worldwide.
