NetJets has selected SpaceX’s Starlink satcom system for installation on about 600 business jets in its fleet. Installations are expected to be completed by the end of next year.  According to industry sources, Starlink installation costs, including hardware, start at about $300,000 per airplane, so the NetJets investment could represent nearly $200 million at retail prices.

Starlink installations will be done on NetJets’ Cessna Citation Latitudes and Longitudes, Embraer Praetor 500s, and Bombardier Challenger 350s and 650s and Globals in the U.S., as well as its Challenger 650s and Globals based in Europe. The Starlink electronically steered antenna is mounted on top of the airplane’s fuselage, and the installation includes a power supply and wireless access points.
