In a noteworthy advancement in private aviation, Business Jet has recently completed the first installation of Starlink on the Embraer Legacy 600, as confirmed by a press release on March 4, 2025. This achievement represents a key milestone, signifying the growing integration of high-speed satellite internet within business aircraft design and functionality, aimed at providing enhanced connectivity for private jet operators.
The installation took place at Business Jet's Dallas facility, marking the Legacy 600 as the first aircraft of its kind to be equipped with Starlink capabilities. Chris Wright, the Chief Executive Officer of Business Jet, expressed pride in the firm’s ability to contribute not only to the comfort and convenience of their clients but also to the broader evolution of the aviation industry.
Streamlined Installation Process
The installation process underwent minimal structural adjustments, allowing Business Jet to align with timelines comparable to other aircraft models already approved for similar upgrades. Wright noted the importance of Starlink's commitment to expediting installation, ensuring a seamless and efficient upgrade path for aircraft owners who wish to enhance their inflight connectivity options.

This flexibility allows Business Jet to cater to a multitude of jets seeking upgrades in their inflight connectivity options, ensuring that owners can maintain their operational efficiency while enjoying modern conveniences.
