Qatar Airways: after 777s now Starlink is on entire A350 fleet, begins installation on Dreamliners

There is a time when a technology stops being "a beautiful promise" and simply becomes... new standard. For Qatar Airways, that moment has come now. The Doha-based airline has just written another page in aviation history: Is the first in the world to install Starlink on Boeing 787 Dreamliners And at the same time, Has completed the entire Airbus A350 fleet with the fastest satellite connectivity in the sky.

Translated into passenger language: in-flight Internet that really works. Not the usual "airport lounge 2000s" Wi-Fi, but a connection capable of streaming, video calling and real-time work even at 11,000 meters altitude. And yes: gate-to-gate works.

The first Dreamliner with Starlink is a reality

Qatar Airways has become the world's first carrier To make Starlink compatible with the Boeing 787-8. The first three Dreamliners are already operational with the new system, bringing the company to be the first to certify Starlink on this model.

After leading the way on Boeing 777s, Qatar then completed the trio: 777, A350 and now 787. A move that no other company, at present, has been able to replicate.

A350: a world record

If the arrival of Starlink on 787s is news, what Qatar has done with theAirbus A350 Is something more: a record. In only eight months the company has completed the installation of Starlink on its entire A350 fleet. It is the first company in the world to have the entire fleet of A350s connected With next-generation satellite Wi-Fi.

For those familiar with aviation technical timescales, this is an impressive achievement: installations, certifications, testing--all completed in less than a year. Since Qatar Airways officially launched Starlink onboard (October 2024), over 11 million passengers Have already used the fastest free Wi-Fi in the sky.

In 2025 Starlink connected 21 million passengers worldwide. Almost half Of these -- he was flying with Qatar.

A figure that tells better than any slogan what it means to be leader in in-flight connectivity.

Internet "better than at home"

Today nearly 120 widebody of Qatar Airways - between A350, Boeing 777 and 787 - Are equipped with Starlink. We are talking about. over the 58% widebody fleet. Speed? Up to 500 Mbps. The result: buffering-free streaming, stable video calls, cloud-based work, seamless social and messaging. It's not marketing: it's real internet, often better performing than what many people have at home.

And not only on short routes: the service also operates on long-haul and ultra-long-haul routes, connecting America, Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Qatar Airways is not simply "adding Wi-Fi." It is redefining the in-flight experience. After being elected World's Best Airline 2025 by Skytrax for the ninth time, the Doha-based company proves that excellence is not just about cabins, service and lounges, but also about connectivity.

Because today luxury is not just space and champagne: it is Being able to be connected when you want, how you want, without compromise.
