Yingling launches Starlink connectivity for Challenger 600s
Passengers on Challenger 600 series aircraft can now access high-speed Starlink internet, with installations available from March.
Starlink-equipped Challenger 600s will provide passengers with seamless connectivity for streaming, video calls and work during flight.

Wichita-based full-service MRO and FBO facility Yingling Aviation is now installing Starlink in-flight internet for Challenger 600 series aircraft, providing speeds of over 220 Mbps in the cabin during flight. The system allows passengers to browse, stream and communicate with a connection similar to home internet.

“With speeds of over 220 Mbps, passengers can now enjoy connectivity and low latency similar to what they experience at home, whether for business or entertainment,” says Yingling's avionics regional/technical sales manager, Josh Peterson.

Installation slots are available from mid-March, with early bookings advised due to equipment lead times. Yingling Aviation has already completed Starlink installations on Bombardier Global XRS aircraft and is now expanding its capabilities to the Challenger 600 series.

“Our team is ready to meet your connectivity needs and ensure your aircraft is equipped with the best in-flight internet experience available,” adds Jason Cohen, the company's VP of sales.
