Qatar vs United: Starlink WiFi

Live install counts, per-fleet-group rates, and where each rollout stands — from the same tail-level data behind the dedicated trackers.

This program is decided by aircraft type, so there is no single fleet percentage worth quoting — which aircraft flies your route is the answer.

Every Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 has Starlink (rollout completed December 2025); the 787 fleet is mid-installation. Narrowbodies and freighters are not in the program.

Where a percentage is shown it is a share of that airline's full tracked fleet — the same denominator its dedicated tracker publishes — so neither side is flattered. Airlines whose program is decided by aircraft type get the per-type table instead of a percentage, because their full-fleet denominator includes types the program deliberately excludes. Either way, whether a specific flight has Starlink depends on the aircraft assigned, not the airline average: check the flight number for a real answer.

  • Starlink is deployed across the Boeing 777, Airbus A350, and Boeing 787-8 fleets. Qatar Airways has not confirmed whether its remaining widebodies — the Airbus A330s and A380s — will receive it. Complimentary Wi-Fi runs the whole journey via Privilege Club authentication or enrolment, though gate-to-gate access can be unavailable at some airports for local regulatory reasons.
