Qatar Airways has completed Starlink installation on 54 Boeing 777 aircraft, delivering high-speed Wi-Fi onboard. The carrier is now focusing on equipping its Airbus A350 fleet with Starlink, with that work expected to finish within a year.
This makes Qatar Airways the operator of the largest number of widebody aircraft equipped with Starlink technology and the only carrier in the Middle East and North Africa offering the service.
Originally scheduled as a two-year programme, the installation was completed in nine months—nearly 50% faster than planned. By reducing retrofit time from three days to 9.5 hours per aircraft, the airline completed the rollout without disrupting operations.
Passengers in both Premium and Economy cabins receive free, gate-to-gate Wi-Fi with speeds of up to 500 Mbps per aircraft for streaming, gaming, or working.
