Fargo Jet Center becomes authorised Starlink dealer
FJC has been authorised to offer Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency internet service, enhancing in-flight connectivity for aviation customers.
FJC aims to complete at least six Starlink installations this year, with plans to expand services as demand grows.

Fargo Jet Center (FJC) has been appointed as an authorised Starlink dealer.

Starlink, engineered by SpaceX, is an advanced satellite internet service bringing in-flight internet connectivity through a high-speed, low-latency service. FJC aims to complete at least six Starlink installations this year, with plans to expand as demand grows. Installation involves mounting a Starlink aero terminal on the aircraft fuselage and integrating the hardware into existing systems. Download speeds range from 40-220 Mbps, with upload speeds of 8-25 Mbps.

“Our team is excited to work with Starlink to bring best-in-class connectivity to our customers,” says Drew Stiles, avionics lead at FJC. “With our extensive experience in satcom and connectivity installations across a wide range of aircraft, we’re well positioned to integrate Starlink’s innovative technology and elevate in-flight connectivity.”

FJC says the authorisation reinforces its commitment to staying at the forefront of aviation technology and providing superior service to its customers. Installation slots for 2025 are now available.
