Starlink WiFi connectivity will be installed across the FlyExclusive fleet while its MRO becomes a certified dealer and installer.
FlyExclusive has signed an authorized dealership agreement with Starlink.
It becomes a certified dealer and installer for Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency aviation connectivity system.
FlyExclusive is the nation’s fifth-largest private jet operator based on charter and fractional flight hours.
It also operates a Part 145 repair station.
As part of the agreement, the Raleigh, North Carolina-based operator will begin installation of Starlink on its fleet.
Chairman and CEO Jim Segrave says, “Our customers expect a world-class experience every time they fly with us, and that includes connectivity that works at the highest level.”
He says, “Starlink raises the bar for in-flight Wi-Fi.”
Segrave adds, “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.”
Per the announcement:
‘Starlink is the world’s most advanced satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting in-flight streaming, online gaming, video calls, and more. Starlink delivers up to 310 Mbps connectivity with latency as low as <99 ms that supports HD video conferencing, streaming, large file transfers, and modern productivity tools. These capabilities have historically required far more expensive and lower-performance legacy systems.’
Chief Operating Officer Matt Lesmeister says, “Connectivity is no longer a luxury. It is a core part of the passenger experience.”
He adds, “Becoming a Starlink aviation dealer strengthens our MRO capabilities while raising the bar across our fleet.”
Lesmeister says, “It allows us to deliver the level of connectivity our customers deserve and gives external operators a fast, trusted path to upgrade their aircraft through a proven MRO partner.”
Installations on its Challenger 350 fleet will begin in early 2026.
External customer installation slots are available immediately through the company’s MRO services team.
