Qatar Airways has launched the world's first Boeing 777 flight equipped with Starlink high-speed internet, marking a significant milestone in in-flight connectivity. The airline has partnered with Elon Musk's Starlink to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi across its Boeing 777 fleet, with plans to extend the service to Airbus A350s by summer 2025. Elon Musk joined a video call at 38,000 feet to demonstrate the new Starlink Wi-Fi capabilities. This collaboration makes Qatar Airways the first airline in the Middle East and North Africa to provide such advanced in-flight internet service, allowing passengers to stream, game, or work seamlessly during their flights.
