Qatar Airways has launched its ‘Super Wi-Fi’ service on its 100th aircraft, becoming the largest operator of aircraft equipped with the GX Aviation technology from Inmarsat on board in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
The service is being rolled out across the airline’s fleet of Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft. The service has been used by millions of the airline’s passengers since 2018, when it became GX Aviation’s launch customer in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Qatar Airways passengers on flights fitted with GX Aviation can receive up to one-hour free access to the Super Wi-Fi service, with the ability to purchase full-flight access if more online time is needed. To honour the loyalty of its valued Privilege Club members, Qatar Airways is offering them up to two complimentary Super Wi-Fi vouchers when they book online between 9 September and 1 October 2020. Other passengers can take advantage of this exclusive offer by signing up to Privilege Club using the enrollment code SUPERWIFI. Terms and conditions apply.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “As a leader of innovation within the global aviation industry, Qatar Airways already operates one of the youngest and most technologically-advanced fleet in the skies. Where other airlines are reducing their Wi-Fi offering, Qatar Airways is expanding it.
“With connection to our loved ones and friends now more important than ever during these challenging times, we are delighted to work with Inmarsat and its GX Aviation technology to bring high-speed Super Wi-Fi broadband to passengers on board our fleet as part of Qatar Airways’ exceptional five-star service. We are also pleased to extend full-flight Super Wi-Fi connectivity to our loyal Privilege Club members across the globe.”
