The well-known airline Qatar Airways will provide free internet on planes for its passengers thanks to cooperation with the Starlink company owned by Elon Musk. This will allow passengers to use in-flight Wi-Fi at speeds of up to 350 megabits per second for a variety of purposes, including gaming, accessing VPNs and watching sports broadcasts. This service will be free of charge and will provide passengers with the opportunity to receive high-speed Internet on board the plane with low latency. The airline and Starlink are currently in the pre-launch phase of a strategy to provide this service across the entire Qatar Airways fleet.

Among other airlines that also work with Starlink, Qatar Airways has become the fifth airline to choose this technology to improve internet connectivity on its planes. The high number of flight delays in the European Union was attributed to a variety of factors, including insufficient air traffic control capacity, adverse weather conditions and other circumstances, including geopolitical events.
