Qatar Executive to Install Starlink Across Entire Fleet by 2026
Qatar Executive, the private jet charter division of Qatar Airways Group, has announced plans to equip its entire fleet of Gulfstream and Bombardier aircraft with Starlink in-flight connectivity by early 2026. This upgrade will provide high-speed, low-latency internet access across the entire fleet.
Qatar Executive is committed to enhancing onboard connectivity and improving its service offerings with this rollout. Currently, half of the Gulfstream G650ER fleet and the entire Bombardier Global 5000 fleet are already equipped with Starlink. The remaining Gulfstream G650ER aircraft and the entire G700 fleet are scheduled to receive installations by early 2026. All upgrades are being carried out by Qatar Executive’s in-house technical teams.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer said, “We aim to deliver strong value to our clients. By equipping our full ultra-long-range fleet with Starlink and completing the installations internally, we are advancing the connectivity standard within private aviation. This initiative supports our commitment to a consistent and reliable experience for our passengers.”
The rollout, combined with Qatar Executive’s established service framework, is designed to enhance in-flight connectivity and support alignment across the Qatar Airways Group.
