Tamarack Aerospace has announced pricing for AirConnect—its purpose-built airborne connectivity fairing and installation system for Cessna Citation CJ1s, CJ2s, and CJ3s—while supplemental type certificate (STC) advances through FAA review.
AirConnect is offered with two installation tiers: a standard installation at $79,000, completed in five business days, and an expedited, three-business-day installation at $84,000. Tamarack is now accepting fully refundable $12,500 deposits to secure priority installation slots.
The low-earth-orbit (LEO) satcom mounting system has been in active flight trials since March, validating installation procedures and in-flight performance. A second customer aircraft recently joined the trial program, expanding the validation dataset ahead of certification. Tamarack will publish updates as FAA certification milestones are achieved, while installations will start at authorized service facilities upon STC issuance.
AirConnect is a provider-agnostic, permanently installed, aerodynamically optimized system featuring a fairing designed to enclose the LEO satcom antenna selected by the customer. The AirConnect system includes the fairing, router, and cabin Wi-Fi hardware. Operators select and contract directly with their preferred LEO broadband service provider.
“Operators responded to our May announcement with exactly the kind of conviction we hoped to see,” said Tamarack Aerospace president Jacob Klinginsmith. “We’re moving through FAA certification with confidence, and we look forward to putting Tamarack AirConnect on customer aircraft.”
