Planet Nine Private Air has chosen Satcom Direct as its preferred connectivity supplier, the Van Nuys, California-headquartered operator said Monday. Planet Nine has acquired multiple Plane Simple Ku-band terminals to upgrade its fleet over a three-year period, including Bombardier Global Express airframes already equipped with the connectivity product.

Installation of the SD Plane Simple Ku-band terminals will give Planet Nine passengers and customers access to the Intelsat FlexExec network, providing dedicated business aviation airtime. Planet Nine also will add the SD FlightDeck Freedom (FDF) datalink service to the cockpit.
