Elon Musk joined a video call at 38,000 feet to show off Qatar Airways’ new Starlink WiFi

From 38,000 feet, Al-Meer showed Musk around the cabin as well as the view from the flight deck, while the SpaceX CEO was at home in the US.

“That’s super cool. I’m on Starlink right now at my house,” Musk said on the call.

Saad bin Ali Al-Kharji, the chairman of Qatar Tourism, said he found the inflight connection better than the internet on the ground.

“It’s only going to get better,” Musk replied. “We keep making improvements: We launch new satellites, and we keep improving the software.”

“So over time, I think you’ll find it just gets better and better,” he added.

“By providing Starlink reliable, seamless internet on board, we are connecting people to things they love the most even at 35,000 feet, making every journey with us a memorable one,” Al-Meer said in a press release.

Qatar — named the world’s best airline by Skytrax — is the second carrier after Hawaiian Airlines to launch a Starlink service.

United Airlines and Air France are among other airlines to have announced plans to install Starlink.
