Attendees were invited to explore an interactive pavilion that highlighted cutting-edge technologies and new partnerships aimed at enhancing global tourism.
Innovative Travel Experiences with Qsuite Next Gen

Revolutionizing Connectivity with Starlink
Setting a new standard in onboard connectivity, Qatar Airways is proud to be the first airline in the MENA region to integrate Starlink technology. The airline’s dedicated Starlink area at the ATM offered insights into its mission to enhance passenger connectivity. With approximately 340 Starlink-enabled flights operating daily, travelers can now enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi on more than 150 equipped aircraft. Since its launch in October 2024, over 25 million passengers have experienced the fastest in-flight internet, a testament to the airline’s ambition to improve the in-flight experience.
