By Fond Travels · Updated August 20, 2026
Good news for long-haul travellers: Qatar Airways now offers free, ultra-fast Starlink Wi-Fi across its widebody fleet — and it has just become the first airline in the world to fly a Starlink-equipped Boeing 787-9. If you're flying from Canada to Asia, the Middle East, Africa or Europe via Doha, staying connected in the air is now easier than ever. Here's what changed and what it means for your trip.
What's new
- 150 Starlink-equipped widebody aircraft — the world's largest such fleet, spanning the Boeing 777, Airbus A350 and Boeing 787.
- World's first Starlink-equipped Boeing 787-9, with the 787-8 sub-fleet completed in about seven months.
- Free, gate-to-gate Wi-Fi with speeds up to 500 Mbps — fast enough for smooth browsing, streaming and video calls.
- 86,000+ Starlink-enabled flights operated since October 2024, serving 23 million+ connected passengers across six continents.
- Onboard Sport 24 live sports streaming on Starlink-enabled flights.
- The remaining Boeing 787 aircraft are scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
Why it matters if you're flying from Canada
Doha is one of the most convenient one-stop hubs for Canadians heading to India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. On these long journeys, reliable Wi-Fi means you can work, stream, message family, or keep the kids entertained the whole way — not just in short bursts. To use it, you'll typically sign in through the airline's Privilege Club programme (free to join).
