NetJets and Starlink have entered into an agreement to bring high-speed in-flight connectivity to 600 aircraft across NetJets' global fleet by the end of 2026, unlocking a new level of productivity and exceptional travel experiences in the air.

“This agreement with Starlink positions NetJets to continue delivering exceptional travel experiences for our owners and their guests,” says Patrick Gallagher, president, NetJets Aviation. “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.”
