flyExclusive has signed an authorised dealership agreement with Starlink, becoming a certified dealer and installer of its low-latency satellite connectivity system for business aviation.
The Kinston, North Carolina-based operator will begin equipping its fleet with Starlink, starting with the Challenger 350 in early 2026. It will also offer installation and support services to third-party aircraft owners, broadening its in house MRO capabilities.
“Our customers expect a world-class experience every time they fly with us and that includes connectivity that works at the highest level,” says Jim Segrave, founder and CEO of flyExclusive. “Starlink raises the bar for in-flight Wi-Fi. Leveraging the capabilities of our vertically integrated platform, we can install, support and control quality end-to-end for our fleet and for external clients.”
The system delivers broadband speeds of up to 310 Mbps with latency under 99ms, supporting video calls, VPNs, streaming and large file transfers.
“Connectivity is no longer a luxury. It is a core part of the passenger experience,” says Matt Lesmeister, chief operating officer of flyExclusive. “Becoming a Starlink aviation dealer strengthens our MRO capabilities while raising the bar across our fleet.”
External installation slots are available immediately through the flyExclusive MRO team.
