Qatar Airways has recently entered into an agreement with Starlink to provide passengers with a reliable and user-friendly Wi-Fi connection while onboard. This innovative partnership utilizes the advanced satellite communications system developed by SpaceX, known as Starlink, which ensures high-speed internet connection with minimal delays.

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.”
