SpaceX sent an email to customers yesterday announcing higher pricing for aviation plans on its Starlink low-earth-orbit satcom network, effective August 7. According to SpaceX, “As the number of airplanes connected by Starlink continues to grow, we are committed to providing reliable, high-speed service plans that meet the needs of aviators all over the world.”

The biggest change is for the former unlimited plan, which worked on a global basis and was priced at $10,000 per month. Starting August 7, the new Aviation Global Unlimited service costs $20,000 per month, with service speeds of up to 1 Gbps. SpaceX requires the Starlink Aviation Performance kit to get the 1 Gbps speeds on this plan but has not yet provided details on the kit’s cost or what it includes.
