Viasat has announced a new service plan structure for its JetXP business aviation inflight connectivity service. For the first time, it is also publishing suggested retail pricing.
There will be three tiers, ranging from a light-use option to unlimited connectivity, available across Honeywell Aerospace’s JetWave and JetWave X and Gogo’s Plane Simple Ka terminals.
Viasat said pricing on the new tiers is more competitive than before and reflects the added capacity now available across its global network.
Manufacturer suggested retail prices (MSRPs) are being published for all service plans using the JetWave X and Plane Simple Ka terminals. The MSRPs start from under US$11,000 per month for an unlimited connectivity plan, and retail pricing is fixed for the full term of the service agreement. The new plans and suggested retail pricing take effect on 1 January 2027. Details of all MSRPs are available on the Viasat website.
Viasat said the plans were developed with its partners and customers, who reported that private jet owners, flight departments, charter operators and fleet managers “needed a simpler way to select the right level of connectivity for their needs and to understand exactly what it costs”.
The change follows the completion of the ViaSat-3 constellation. ViaSat-3 F2 entered service over the Americas in September 2026, F3 having entered service across Asia-Pacific a month earlier. Together with F1, they triple the bandwidth available across Viasat’s global fleet. All three satellites use beamforming technology that can dynamically follow aircraft across the coverage area.
“Business aviation operators have told us clearly that they want inflight connectivity they can rely on and pricing they can plan around,” said Don Buchman, president of aviation at Viasat. “With our most advanced global satellites now fully operational, we can offer both. At a time when operators are navigating unpredictable pricing elsewhere in the market, offering fixed-term plans with suggested retail pricing reinforces our commitment to being a partner operators can continue to trust, not just for performance, but for certainty.”
JetXP is active on more than 2,100 aircraft worldwide. Viasat will showcase the solution at NBAA-BACE 2026 in Las Vegas on 20-22 October, at West Hall booth 2035.
