Trans-Exec Private Jets has announced the integration of Starlink high-speed, low-latency internet connectivity into its entire fleet of aircraft. The move aims to enhance the passenger experience by offering global connectivity for various online activities, including streaming, video calls, and remote working.
SpaceX’s Starlink operates a low Earth orbit satellite constellation that provides internet connectivity virtually everywhere in the world. The technology is known for its global coverage and reliability.
“The integration of Starlink is a momentous step for Trans-Exec, and showcases our unwavering dedication to providing our passengers with the highest standards of service, including in-flight private chefs, our onboard spa, and guaranteed availability,” said David Bilson, Founder and CEO of Trans-Exec.
Trans-Exec has been a prominent name in the private charter aviation industry, known for its commitment to luxury, safety, and technological innovation. The company owns a large fleet of Gulfstream jets that offer a range of amenities, including in-flight chefs and onboard spas.
The announcement was made ahead of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas, scheduled for October 17-19. The integration of Starlink is expected to set a new industry benchmark for in-flight connectivity.
“Starlink is currently installed and being used on more than 70 aircraft with over 400 additional planes on contract,” said SpaceX on Friday.
Earlier today, SpaceX launched a batch of 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. A second Starlink launch is coming later today as part of a back-to-back launch day for SpaceX.
