Louisiana-based Citadel Completions today announced that it is now an authorized Starlink dealer. Under the agreement, Citadel will install Starlink connectivity systems on large-cabin, narrowbody, and widebody business aircraft. The announcement comes as other providers such as Duncan, Banyan Air, and Clay Lacy have inked Starlink partnerships.
Citadel Completions vice president of sales and design Shane Combs told AIN that Starlink and other companies run by billionaire Elon Musk are enjoying an increasing national spotlight. “Anything that Mr. Musk touches seems to be dynamic one way or the other," Combs said.
He added that Citadel has been collaborating with the Starlink team to integrate its technology. “We’ve been working with the Starlink team and the SpaceX aviation team and supporting them and their endeavors," he said. "Behind the scenes, we’ve been studying and engineering, and we’re ready."
Combs wouldn’t confirm the number of Starlink installations that have been performed so far but said it's “more than a dozen.”
