Qatar Airways announced on Thursday its partnership with Elon Musk‘s Starlink to begin offering complimentary Wi-Fi on three of its Boeing 777-300 aircraft by the fourth quarter of this year. The announcement was made at the Aircraft Interior Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
What Happened: The airline plans to extend this high-speed, low-latency Wi-Fi technology to its entire modern fleet within the next two years. This initiative aims to enhance the passenger experience by providing ultra-high-speed connectivity of up to 500 Megabit per second per plane.
The collaboration with Starlink, operated by SpaceX, marks a significant milestone for Qatar Airways as the first airline in the MENA region to offer such a service.
Mike Nicolls, Vice President of Starlink Engineering at SpaceX, commented, "High-speed, low-latency internet is the future of aviation connectivity, and we're excited to work with Qatar Airways to start flying Starlink on their fleet by the end of this year."
