Qatar Airways has made a giant leap for aviation connectivity as the first airline that fitted a Boeing 777 up with SpaceX’s Starlink technology. It is now poised to allow passengers on board to connect at high-speed, low-latency internet. Such innovative upgrade marks a big leap in the in-flight offerings because, at 35,000 feet cruising altitude, a user can stream, play games, or work effortlessly.
A highlight of the event was even when Elon Musk face-timed to the very first Boeing 777 with Starlink, on a flight from Qatar Airways, to express his gratitude for the partnership between the airline and SpaceX.

The carrier has committed to upgrading Starlink to all its Boeing 777 aircraft by 2025 and said the airline will offer free internet access on all passengers traveling aboard. Besides having accessibility, this means boosting the ever-escalating demand of air travelers to have reliable connectivity from the skies.
Qatar Airways sets a new standard in air travel as it uses Starlink technology to keep passengers connected and entertained on their journeys. This forward-thinking approach cements the company as one of the leaders of in-flight products and services, often focused by many people.
