SpaceX launches Wi-Fi on board Boeing 777 with Starlink
SpaceX has announced that it has expanded the capabilities of its Starlink internet service. It now provides uninterrupted Wi-Fi on board a Boeing 777 on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to London. This is the first and longest-range passenger airplane equipped with satellite connectivity.
According to Qatar Airways itself, the Starlink service will be available on the entire Boeing 777 fleet from 2025 and is available to passengers completely free of charge. Other airlines such as United Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and airBaltic, with whom contracts have already been signed, will also have the technology in the future.
