Qatar Airways’ private jet charter division, Qatar Executive, has released plans for its fleet of Gulfstream G650ER to fly with Starlink connectivity.
Qatar Executive made the announcement on December 12, 2024, as MEBBA Show 2024, at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Dubai, opens its doors for day one of the business aviation event.
The first Starlink-equipped Gulfstream G650ER will begin flying on December 14, 2024, and Qatar Executive plans to have the first five flying with the technology by May 2025.
The private jet charter firm plans to roll out Elon Musk’s Starlink across the rest of its Gulfstream fleet over the next 18 months.
“Qatar Executive continues to redefine the future of private aviation. The integration of Starlink technology represents our vision for seamless connectivity that meets the expectations of our global clientele. This innovation further enhances our position as a leading provider in the ultra-long-range business jet branded charter market, ensuring that every journey with Qatar Executive is exceptional,” said Qatar Airways’ Group CEO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer.
Qatar Executive said that Starlink technology will set a “benchmark” in business aviation, providing customers with a Wi-Fi service that runs speeds of up to 350 megabits per second.
“This innovation highlights Qatar Executive’s commitment to offering a travel experience that blends world-class luxury with unparalleled service, all while offering the ultimate in technology that allow passengers to remain seamlessly connected while onboard and inflight,” Qatar Executive said.
