Qatar Airways Starlink Wi‑Fi Rollout Milestone
On November 19, 2025 Qatar Airways Starlink rollout reached a major milestone as the carrier expanded SpaceX Starlink satellite Wi‑Fi to routes serving Europe and North America.
Qatar Airways announced the deployment on November 19, 2025, saying the SpaceX Starlink satellite internet system will be available on flights that link its Doha hub with major cities in Europe and North America. The move is aimed squarely at improving streaming, video calls and general web access for passengers on long-haul sectors.
SpaceX’s Starlink is a low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellation that promises higher speeds and lower latency than many older satellite systems. By adopting Starlink, Qatar Airways is positioning itself among the first global carriers to offer that combination of speed and responsiveness on western routes.
Qatar Airways Starlink: what passengers will notice
From the cabin, travelers should see fewer buffering wheels and quicker page loads on long international flights. The rollout prioritises high-traffic transcontinental routes between Doha and destinations in Europe and North America, where reliable inflight internet is now a growing expectation for business and leisure flyers alike.
- Faster streaming and clearer video calls — Qatar Airways Starlink brings higher bandwidth and lower latency to long-haul passengers.
- Improved connectivity for work: better VPN and remote-desktop performance for business travellers on transatlantic sectors.
- Progressive fleet fit: Qatar Airways plans staged installations so connectivity expands across more aircraft over time.
The airline framed the upgrade as a passenger-experience priority, highlighting how consistent internet access supports onboard services and keeps customers connected. While Qatar Airways did not disclose a specific number of aircraft or exact launch cities in its announcement, the carrier said the initial phase covers key routes to Europe and North America.
For travelers who stream, game, or need reliable video conferencing mid-flight, the Starlink rollout marks a tangible change. Expect the service to appear gradually on schedules; passengers should check Qatar Airways’ communications or booking details for availability on a given flight.
