Qatar Airways Completes Starlink Roll-out on 777 Fleet

Qatar Airways has completed its rollout of Starlink wifi connectivity for its Boeing 777s.

With the world’s largest number of Starlink-equipped widebody aircraft, Qatar Airways now offers complimentary wifi speeds of up to 500 Mbps free for all passengers.

Originally scheduled as a two-year programme, the installation rollout has been completed in nine months (or just 9.5 hours per aircraft).

Wifi For All

Passengers in both Premium and Economy cabins enjoy free, gate-to-gate Wi-Fi speeds of up to 5oo Mbps, allowing them to stream, game or work much like they would at home.

“This new milestone demonstrates our strategic investment in redefining our passengers’ expectations,” says Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer. “We promised the fastest, most seamless in-flight connectivity in the industry, and with Starlink, we have delivered it faster and at an unmatched scale. Having completed our rollout programme for Boeing 777s, we are now fully focused on equipping our Airbus A350 fleet with Starlink, bringing this game-changing experience to even more routes across our global network of over 170 destinations.”
