NetJets and Starlink have entered into an agreement to bring high-speed in-flight Wi-Fi to approximately 600 aircraft across their global fleet by the end of 2026, unlocking new levels of productivity and entertainment.

Patrick Gallagher, President, NetJets Aviation, said: “This agreement with Starlink positions NetJets to continue delivering exceptional travel experiences for our Owners and their guests.

“With Starlink, travel is elevated with reliable connectivity, whether our Owners are flying for business or leisure – as seamless connectivity is critical to the experience our Owners need and deserve.”

This multi-year service level agreement paves the way for NetJets to quickly begin installing Starlink on aircraft based in Europe and the U.S.

Jason Fritch, VP of Starlink Enterprise Sales, SpaceX said: “With Starlink onboard your NetJets flight, you’ll be able to boost productivity, have seamless video calls, stream on demand and game just as you can do on the ground.

“We’re excited to level up the NetJets travel experience and maintain our commitment to deliver exceptional connectivity from 40,000 feet.”
