Qatar Airways’ (Doha) Airbus A350 and A380 fleets will offer both Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir. In total, over 150 Qatar Airways’ aircraft will have OnAir connectivity, including its new Boeing 777-300 ERs (see video below) and 787s.

According to the airline, Qatar Airways’ passengers have the choice of using either the GSM network or Wi-Fi. They can use their mobile phones and tablets for calls, texting, emailing, updating social media and surfing the Internet. It is very simple to use, with billing working in exactly the same way as international roaming. They can also access the Internet using any Wi-Fi enabled device.

Qatar Airways has 10 Airbus A380s on order and three options, with deliveries starting in January 2014. The airline also has orders for 43 Airbus A350-900s and 37 A350-1000s.
