Qatar Airways will offer free full-flight WiFi for the next 100 days to celebrate equipping 100 aircraft with its “Super WiFi” service.
The 100th aircraft to be fitted with the GX Aviation technology was an Airbus A350-900 registration number A7-ALC.

Speaking on the milestone, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker, said: “As a leader of innovation within the global aviation industry, Qatar Airways already operates one of the youngest and most technologically-advanced fleets in the skies. Where other airlines are reducing their WiFi offering, Qatar Airways is expanding it.
“With connection to our loved ones and friends now more important than ever during these challenging times, we are delighted to work with Inmarsat and its GX Aviation technology to bring high-speed Super WiFi broadband to passengers on board our fleet as part of Qatar Airways’ exceptional five-star service.”
Qatar Airways was crowned the best airline in the world for 2019, according to the consumer-aviation website Skytrax.
