Qatar Airways has achieved a major milestone in its Starlink rollout programme by equipping over 100 widebody aircraft with the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky, ahead of schedule.
The Doha-based carrier is now the operator of the largest number of Starlink-equipped widebody aircraft in the world. It is also the only airline in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region to offer Starlink onboard.
With more than 50% of its widebody fleet now Starlink-connected, the World’s Best Airline, as voted by Skytrax in 2025 for the ninth time, has already operated over 30,000 flights with uninterrupted, high-speed, gate-to-gate connectivity.
To date, Qatar Airways has completed the Boeing 777 rollout programme and is rapidly finalising the Starlink rollout across its Airbus A350 aircraft, also set to be completed in record time.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “Qatar Airways continues to lead the industry by setting new benchmarks with action, and not just intent. We have expedited our Starlink rollout, which is now advancing ahead of schedule as Qatar Airways brings the best travel experience to our passengers as an immediate priority, not a future ambition. Equipping over 100 widebody aircraft since the launch of our first Starlink-equipped flight in October 2024 reflects this commitment.
“We now operate up to 200 daily Starlink-connected flights to key destinations to ensure our passengers stay seamlessly connected, ensuring passengers stay seamlessly connected with speeds faster than many home Wi-Fi services. Whether working, streaming movies and sports, or staying in touch with friends and family, staying connected at 35,000 feet has never been more convenient.”
