Five airlines have chosen to adopt the technology invented by Elon Musk through Starlink satellites, but if with JSX, Hawaiian Airlines, airBaltic and ZIPAIR were talking about "regional" companies with Qatar as with Costa Cruises Instead, we are talking about global players destined to change passengers' intentions.

Qatar Airways is now the largest airline to partner with Starlink and to launch a free high-speed, low-latency Internet connectivity experience on board specific aircraft and routes. Starlink's service will be a further enhancement to the onboard experience by Qatar Airways. Once the service is activated, passengers will enjoy ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds up to 350 megabits per second which can be used for a variety of Internet-based services such as streaming video of their favorite entertainment and sports shows, games , enriched web browsing and much more. It will then also be possible to use your own VPN to connect remotely and securely around the world.

The high-speed, low-latency network is powered by the revolutionary Starlink satellite communication system, the world's largest satellite Internet constellation designed and operated by SpaceX. Qatar Airways and Starlink are currently in the pre-launch phase of the rollout strategy across Qatar Airways' entire fleet.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, said, "Qatar Airways is proud to announce its agreement with Starlink to provide seamless and free Wi-Fi to its passengers worldwide. This exciting partnership is not only in line with our industry-leading approach to technology adoption, but also represents an unmissable opportunity to connect Starlink to our global passengers. We look forward to our passengers benefiting from this cutting-edge addition to the Qatar Airways flight experience."

"Qatar Airways continues to lead the way by prioritizing the passenger experience," said Jonathan Hofeller, vice president of commercial sales for SpaceX's Starlink. "With Starlink set to support Qatar Airways' entire fleet, passengers traveling between more than 150 destinations worldwide will be able to stay connected with the most advanced high-speed Internet service from space. In fact, as soon as passengers board the aircraft, the Internet will work seamlessly throughout the flight, from gate to gate, and all from the comfort of their seats."
