Business Jet has just hit a major milestone, completing two of the first Starlink installations on the Gulfstream GIV following the STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) approval in late August. This is just the beginning—next up is the Legacy 600 certification, expected in December.
On its latest flight, the Gulfstream GIV wowed passengers with download speeds of up to 295 Mbps, making it possible to stream three movies simultaneously without any buffering. Passengers and crew alike have been calling the service a “Game Changer.” It’s clear that Starlink is bringing a whole new level of connectivity to business aviation, keeping passengers connected from takeoff to landing—whether for work or play.
Lina Sabbah, Director of Aircraft Solutions and Acquisitions at Business Jet, shared her excitement: “The addition of the GIV to our lineup has been a huge hit with owners and operators. We’re proud to offer customized solutions that improve our clients’ flying experience.”
