Business Jet completes Starlink installations on Gulfstream GIV
After becoming an authorised Starlink installer in May of this year and completing its first Gulfstream GV installation in August, Business Jet has completed its first two installations on the GIV.
During the GIV's most recent flight, download speeds reached up to 295 Mbps.

Business Jet, a Dallas Love Field-based private aviation company, recently completed two of the first Starlink installations on the Gulfstream GIV. This milestone is set to be followed by a Legacy 600 certification aircraft installation in December.

"The addition of the GIV to the line-up of approved aircraft has been met with enthusiasm from its owners and operators. We are proud to deliver tailored solutions to our clients, and this milestone supports this commitment," says Lina Sabbah, director of aircraft solutions and acquisitions. "We look forward to expanding our portfolio of completed aircraft models as STCs continue to be approved."

As the demand for connectivity grows, whether it's for business or leisure, Starlink's cutting-edge technology is said to offer travellers a reliable solution from takeoff to touchdown, ensuring uninterrupted productivity and entertainment.

During the GIV's most recent flight, download speeds reached up to 295 Mbps, allowing passengers to simultaneously stream three different movies without experiencing any lagging. Appreciation from Starlink users can be summed up in two words: game changer. The offering reflects Business Jet's commitment to enhancing customers' in-flight experience.

Business Jet's team of highly skilled technicians have experience installing Starlink on various aircraft models and recommend scheduling an installation during an annual inspection or another major maintenance event as more STCs become available. STCs are currently available for Gulfstream GIV/GV/G450/G550/G650/G650ER models and Bombardier Global 5000/6000/6500/7500/Express/XRS models. By the end of the year, STCs are expected for the Bombardier Global model 5500, with various models, such as the Challenger 300/350, following in early 2025. Business Jet is poised to accommodate any jet that's ready to upgrade its in-flight connectivity.
