Banyan Air Service has signed a dealer agreement to supply in-flight internet connectivity with StarLink’s low earth orbit satellite network. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based FBO said several supplemental type certificates are nearing completion to serve multiple business aircraft types.
Under the agreement with Starlink, Banyan aims t deliver reliable high-speed connectivity across U.S. skies “and beyond,” giving passengers access to the internet in flight.
The introduction of the Starlink system aboard aircraft results in what Banyan calls “unprecedented” internet speeds, global coverage with its vast constellation of satellites, low latency with the use of LEO satellites, straightforward installation on a range of business aircraft, and “competitive” pricing.
“Through this exciting collaboration, Banyan is not just enhancing the in-flight experience but is also empowering business aviation with the tools needed for success in an increasingly connected world,” the FBO said. “The integration of Starlink technology reaffirms our commitment to innovation and excellence, setting new standards for connectivity in the skies.”
An FAA- and EASA-approved repair station, Banyan holds maintenance and avionics repair station approvals to provide heavy maintenance, interior and paint refurbishment, turbine engine service, structural repairs and modifications, avionics installation and repair services, aircraft parts, and aircraft sales and management.
