NetJets, a specialist in private aviation, and Starlink have entered into an agreement to bring high-speed in-flight connectivity to 600 aircraft across NetJets’ global fleet by the end of 2026.

“This agreement with Starlink positions NetJets to continue delivering exceptional travel experiences for our Owners and their guests,” commented Patrick Gallagher, President, NetJets Aviation. “With Starlink, travel is elevated with reliable connectivity whether our Owners are flying for business or leisure—as seamless connectivity is critical to the experience our Owners need and deserve.”

This multi-year, service level agreement paves the way for NetJets to quickly outfit its aircraft across the US and Europe, with installation beginning this December.

Starlink is an advanced satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, gaming, and more. With over 8,000 satellites in orbit, Starlink delivers on reliability, speeds up to 500 Mbps, coverage across global routes, and availability even in the most remote locations.

Jason Fritch, VP of Starlink Enterprise Sales, SpaceX, added: “With Starlink onboard your NetJets flight, you’ll be able to boost productivity, have seamless video calls, stream on demand, and game just as you can do on the ground. We’re excited to level up the NetJets travel experience and maintain our commitment to deliver exceptional connectivity from 40,000 feet.”

Starlink will be installed on Cessna Citation Latitudes, Embraer Praetor 500s, Cessna Citation Longitudes, Bombardier Challenger 350s, Bombardier Challenger 650s, and the entire Bombardier Global fleet in the US, as well as on Bombardier Challenger 650s and Bombardier Global aircraft based in Europe.
