Qatar Airways has joined forces with Starlink, becoming the largest airline to collaborate with the SpaceX-owned satellite internet service. In the future, Qatar Airways will offer complimentary high-speed, low-latency internet connectivity on specific aircraft and routes, enhancing the passenger experience. Once implemented, this collaboration will provide passengers with ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 350 Megabits per second, enabling a range of internet-based services, including video streaming, gaming, web browsing, and more. Accessing the service will be simple, with a one-click access process.
Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive, Qatar Airways Group said, “Qatar Airways is proud to announce its agreement with Starlink to provide seamless and complimentary Wi-Fi to its global passengers. This exciting collaboration is not only in line with our industry-leading approach to technological adoption, but also serves as an unmissable opportunity to connect Starlink to our global passengers. We look forward to our passengers benefitting from this state-of-the-art addition to Qatar Airways’ in-flight experience.”
The Starlink service leverages the world’s largest satellite internet constellation, engineered and operated by SpaceX. Qatar Airways and Starlink are in the pre-launch phase of the rollout strategy, preparing to bring this technology to Qatar Airways’ fleet.
“Qatar Airways continues to lead the way prioritizing the passenger experience,” said SpaceX’s Vice President of Starlink Commercial Sales Jonathan Hofeller “With Starlink set to support the entire Qatar Airways fleet, passengers travelling between over 160 destinations around the world will be able to stay connected with the most advance high-speed internet service from space. In fact, as soon as passengers step onboard the plane the internet works seamlessly throughout their flight from gate to gate, and all from the comfort of their seats,” he further added.
