Nicholas Air is upgrading in-flight connectivity to Starlink, the company announced.

Nicholas Air Chief Technology Officer Fernando Pineda said, “With the installation of Starlink across our fleet, we continue our commitment to deliver an elevated, ultra-luxury experience on every mission.”

Pineda added, “It is essential that we provide our Members with reliable, fast, and seamless connectivity for their business, entertainment, or personal communication needs.”

He said, “This significant upgrade reflects our ongoing commitment to invest in technology that enhances the bespoke service that Nicholas Air is known for.”

Starlink’s parent, SpaceX, operates the world’s largest satellite constellation to provide global broadband internet access.

That includes over remote landscapes and oceans.

Nicholas Air noted, “Unlike legacy systems that often suffer from high latency and environmental interference, Starlink’s phased array antenna features no moving parts, ensuring greater reliability and performance from the moment a passenger steps onboard until they reach their destination.”

Nicholas Air flight hours increased 6.9% year-over-year in 2025, according to ARGUS TraqPak.

It ranked 11th among charter/fractional operators by flight hours.

Its jet card program fleet includes a Gulfstream G600, Bombardier Challenger 350s, Citation Latitudes, and Phenom 300 and 100s.

Nicholas Air has four types of jet cards.

Rise is based on the fund amount.

Blue is based on flight hours.

Lite provides lower rates with more restrictions.

The Steel Card is dedicated to the G600.
