Qatar Airways has now completed its Starlink installation programme on 54 Boeing 777 aircraft
The carrier says the installations were completed at a record speed. It was scheduled as a two-year programme but the installation was completed in nine months. According to the airline, this milestone makes Qatar Airways the operator of the largest number of widebody aircraft equipped with Starlink technology.
The carrier is equipping its Airbus A350 fleet next and is aiming to complete the Starlink installation within the next year.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “This new milestone demonstrates our strategic investment in redefining our passengers’ expectations. We promised the fastest, most seamless in-flight connectivity in the industry, and with Starlink we have delivered it faster and at an unmatched scale. Having completed our rollout programme for Boeing 777s, we are now fully focused on equipping our Airbus A350 fleet with Starlink, bringing this game-changing experience to even more routes across our global network of over 170 destinations.”
