What Is Starlink Aviation and Why Are Aircraft Operators Installing It?
Starlink Aviation is a satellite-based in-flight connectivity system designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet aboard aircraft.
The system uses Starlink's low-Earth-orbit satellite network to provide internet connectivity during flight. Depending on the aircraft, approved installation and service configuration, Starlink can support passenger WiFi, business communications, streaming, cloud applications, VPN access and other connected services.
For aircraft operators, the attraction is not simply faster WiFi. Modern connectivity can improve the passenger experience, support onboard productivity and provide crews with access to connected communications and data services where supported by the installed aircraft configuration.
High-Speed In-Flight Internet
Modern airborne connectivity can support demanding passenger, business and communication applications during flight.
Low-Latency Connectivity
Starlink's low-Earth-orbit satellite network is designed to provide a more responsive internet experience in flight.
Passenger Experience
Operators can provide passengers with connectivity for communication, work, streaming and other online services.
Aircraft Modernization
Connectivity upgrades can be incorporated into broader avionics, cabin, electrical or aircraft modernization programs.
Why Operators Are Upgrading Aircraft Connectivity
Passenger expectations and operational requirements have changed. Reliable airborne internet has become an important consideration for many commercial, charter, business and specialized aircraft.
Installing Starlink requires more than purchasing connectivity equipment. The system must be properly integrated into the aircraft using the applicable approved installation data and certification path.

Aircraft Modification Support
Aircraft Modification Support for Starlink Connectivity
Bringing high-speed satellite connectivity to an aircraft requires much more than mounting an antenna.
The installation must be integrated with the aircraft structure, electrical systems, wiring, equipment and applicable avionics or cabin interfaces.
AeroX provides aviation modification and installation support for Starlink aircraft programs. Our teams help operators coordinate the physical aircraft work required by the applicable installation package.
From an individual aircraft to a multi-aircraft deployment, AeroX can provide scalable aviation personnel and modification support based on aircraft availability, project requirements and operational schedules.

Starlink Installation Overview
Starlink Aircraft Installation at a Glance
A Starlink aircraft installation can involve antenna integration, structural modification, connectivity equipment, aircraft wiring, electrical power, cabin integration and avionics interfaces.
Aircraft Integration
A Starlink Installation Is More Than an Antenna
The visible antenna is only one component of an aircraft connectivity installation.
Behind the installation is a coordinated series of structural, electrical, wiring, equipment and aircraft integration activities.
Antenna mounting can involve aircraft structure and installation provisions. Connectivity hardware must be positioned and installed. Electrical power must be provided, and wiring must be routed between applicable equipment and aircraft interfaces.
AeroX supports these interconnected modification activities using experienced aviation personnel working to the applicable technical data and project requirements.
One Installation. Multiple Aircraft Disciplines.
A coordinated installation program helps ensure that structural, electrical, avionics and cabin activities are planned around the same aircraft schedule.

Important:
Inclusion of an aircraft platform on AeroX capability pages does not
mean a Starlink installation is automatically approved for that airframe.
Installation eligibility depends on the specific aircraft, available
approved engineering or STC data, equipment configuration and applicable
aviation authority requirements.
Fleet-Wide Deployment
Scaling Starlink Installations Across an Aircraft Fleet
Installing connectivity on one aircraft is different from deploying the same modification across an operating fleet.
Multi-aircraft programs require careful coordination of manpower, aircraft availability, modification schedules, installation sequencing and repeatable work processes.
AeroX can provide scalable aviation teams for individual aircraft or larger deployment programs based on project scope, aircraft requirements, location and resource availability.
