140 of 241 fitted with Starlink; free for every passenger in every cabin, no sign-up (OMAAT, Jul 2026).
Every aircraft Qatar Airways flies, by system, priced. The rows add up to the published ConnectScore, and the top row on its own is the next-gen number. The build fails if they stop adding up.
| Segment | Aircraft | Share | Share of the fleet | Quality | Free | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starlink next-gen row Free for every passenger in every cabin, no sign-up. Qatar advertises up to 500 Mbps per aircraft. Reported Qatar Airways press releases; OMAAT, Jul 2026 · 2026-07 | 140 | 58.1% | 1.00 | 1.00 | 58.1 | |
| Inmarsat or SITA The pre-Starlink widebody fit. Qatar names both systems and publishes no split. Reported Qatar Airways connectivity page · 2026-01 | 53 | 22.0% | 0.22 | 0.70 | 3.4 | |
| no wifi inferred INFERRED, not published. Qatar has never listed these aircraft as connected. Reported inferred: Qatar's fleet count less the aircraft it lists as connected · 2026-07 | 48 | 19.9% | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.0 | |

241 aircraft with a published system. Every system on the fleet is named and the counts are not published, so the score is a range. Points are shown to one decimal place; the unrounded rows sum to 61.48, which rounds to the published 61.
Unpublished splits: Inmarsat or SITA (53 aircraft). Qatar Airways connectivity page would settle it.
Four things, in the order they become useful. Every one of them is available at tier C, which is the tier this page was derived at. Anything this fleet cannot support has been cut from the list.
Aircraft assignments firm up roughly 48 hours before departure and they can still move up to pushback. Whatever this page says today, the answer for your flight is more settled then.
Qatar Airways publishes an amenity marker against each flight in its own booking flow, and that marker is about the aircraft now assigned to it. It is the closest thing to a per-flight answer this fleet has. The airline is asserting it; nobody has verified the install.
Roughly 58% of the fleet carries Starlink today, so a different departure is a real second draw. Whether that is worth doing is a question about the change fee on your fare, and it is cheaper to know the answer before the gate than at it.
Nobody has load-tested a full cabin on any of these systems, so a good score is not a promise about the hour you fly. Downloading the deck is the move that makes the odds stop mattering.
Qatar Airways has Starlink on 140 of its 241 aircraft (58%) as of 2026-07, so it is better than a coin flip. Its ConnectScore is 61 out of 100, in the good band.
On Qatar Airways it is free onboard. ConnectScore multiplies the fleet share by a free-for-you factor, so a paid or unconfirmed free claim scores lower than the same fleet given away free.

Everything on this page comes from what Qatar Airways has published about its own fleet. Nobody has published what it was like in the seat. If you flew Qatar Airways this month, thirty seconds here is a data point nobody else has.
