Duncan Aviation has finalised a dealership agreement with SpaceX to sell and install hardware for the Starlink inflight internet connectivity system on a growing list of makes and models of aircraft.
Relying on the company’s network of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Starlink is designed to provide fast, reliable, uninterrupted inflight connectivity around the world.
Several clients have already signed contracts with Duncan Aviation for installations on several Global aircraft models. Installations are scheduled at all three of Duncan Aviation’s full-service facilities – in Battle Creek (Michigan), Lincoln (Nebraska) and Provo (Utah), as well as one of the company’s satellite locations in Houston (Texas).
“We have strong interest from Gulfstream owner/operators with G450s and G550s who are awaiting the FAA’s approval of STCs to install Starlink on their aircraft, and we expect to sign them as soon as the ink dries,” said Justin Vena, senior avionics sales rep.
Once FAA approval is received for each model, all of Duncan Aviation’s full-service facilities and several of its work-away shops are qualified and authorised to perform the installation on the Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G450, Gulfstream GIV, Gulfstream GV, GLEX, GL XRS, GL6000, GL5000, GL5500, GL6500, GL7500, King Air 200 and King Air 300.
“Clients have been asking us about Starlink connectivity options for quite some time and we are pleased to be able to make the system available to them,” said Ryan Huss, Duncan Aviation’s VP of sales. “This moderately priced, high-speed solution offers our business aviation customers yet another way to stay comfortably and reliably connected when they’re travelling around the world.”
