Private charter and MRO provider FlyExclusive has signed an authorized dealership agreement with Starlink, allowing the company to sell, install, and support Starlink’s aviation connectivity system for its own fleet and third-party aircraft owners. Installations on the company’s Bombardier Challenger 350s are scheduled to begin soon, with installation slots for external customers available immediately through the company’s MRO services team.
“Connectivity is no longer a luxury. It is a core part of the passenger experience,” said FlyExclusive COO Matt Lesmeister. “Becoming a Starlink aviation dealer strengthens our MRO capabilities while raising the bar across our fleet.”
“Our customers expect a world-class experience every time they fly with us, and that includes connectivity that works at the highest level,” said Jim Segrave, founder and CEO of FlyExclusive. “Starlink raises the bar for in-flight Wi-Fi. Leveraging the capabilities of our vertically integrated platform, we can install, support, and control quality end-to-end for our fleet and for external clients.”
Starlink uses a low-earth-orbit satellite constellation to deliver broadband connectivity with speeds up to 310 Mbps, enabling video conferencing, streaming, and large data transfers.
