Gulf Air to offer Starlink internet on flights from mid-2026

Bahrain’s flag carrier Gulf Air will roll out Starlink high-speed internet across its entire fleet starting mid-2026. 

The Gulf state approved the launch of Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by US billionaire Elon Musk, this month.

The first Starlink-equipped Gulf Air A320 is scheduled to enter service mid-year, with fleet-wide installation to follow, the carrier said in a statement.

The airline will offer complimentary Wi-Fi to passengers on its aircraft from boarding through to arrival.

“With Starlink on board, Gulf Air is bringing next-generation in-flight connectivity to all passengers, whether traveling for leisure or business,” CEO Martin Gauss said.

Starlink operates through a growing constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites, delivering high-speed, low-latency internet.

In November, Dubai-based Emirates Airline said it will deploy Starlink across its entire 232-aircraft in-service fleet by mid-2027, starting with Boeing 777s in late 2025 and moving to Airbus A380s in 2026. 

Qatar Airways was the first Gulf airline to launch Starlink service across its Boeing 777 fleet in October 2024. Saudi Arabia and Oman have already approved Starlink.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
