Starlink Inflight Connectivity Installation & Maintenance
Next-Generation Starlink Connectivity for Business Aviation
Empire Aviation USA provides Starlink installation and maintenance support for eligible business aircraft, with work performed in accordance with our FAA Part 145 Repair Station capabilities and applicable approved installation data. As satellite-based connectivity continues to reshape what passengers expect in the cabin, we help operators upgrade to a system built for speed and reliability.
Our team manages the full installation process, from initial planning through system testing, so your aircraft is equipped with connectivity that performs the way it is meant to, not just on paper.
Why Starlink Connectivity Stands Out
Traditional inflight connectivity systems have long struggled with latency and inconsistent speeds, particularly over longer routes or remote areas. Starlink’s satellite architecture is designed to address those limitations directly, offering the kind of high-speed, low-latency connection that supports video calls, large file transfers, and other bandwidth-intensive uses that older systems could not reliably handle. For flight departments and owners who treat connectivity as mission-critical, that difference matters.
What We Offer
Starlink Installation
Installation services for eligible Starlink aviation terminals and supported aircraft configurations, integrated with the aircraft’s applicable systems in accordance with approved installation data. Our technicians plan the installation around your aircraft’s wiring, power, and structural requirements to ensure the terminal is mounted and integrated correctly.
Performance You Can Rely On
High-speed, low-latency connectivity designed for the demands of modern business travel. Following installation, required testing and inspections are performed in accordance with applicable approved data before the aircraft is approved for return to service, as authorized under our FAA Part 145 Repair Station certificate.
Starlink Maintenance
Post-installation troubleshooting and maintenance can help identify and address connectivity system discrepancies. If an issue arises after installation, our team is available to diagnose and resolve it, including troubleshooting wiring, hardware integration, and other installation-related discrepancies.
Upgrade Planning
For operators currently using an older connectivity system, we can assess whether a transition to Starlink makes sense for your aircraft and flying profile, and manage the upgrade from evaluation through installation.
Our Process
We start by reviewing your aircraft’s structure, wiring, and power systems to confirm compatibility and plan the installation. Once installation is complete, applicable inspections and ground testing are performed in accordance with approved data, with required documentation completed as part of the aircraft’s maintenance records.
Aircraft Platforms We Support
Starlink installation availability varies by aircraft make, model, configuration, applicable STC, and our Repair Station capabilities. Contact our team to confirm availability for your specific aircraft. Supported configurations may include select Gulfstream, Bombardier, Citation, Falcon, Embraer and other business aircraft platforms.
Why Choose Empire Aviation USA for Starlink Installation
Satellite connectivity installations involve structural, electrical, and integration considerations that go well beyond mounting a terminal to the fuselage. Empire Aviation USA’s technicians evaluate each installation carefully, from structural mounting points to power draw and wiring routing, so the system is integrated correctly the first time rather than requiring rework later.For supported aircraft and installations within our approved capabilities, Starlink installation work is performed in accordance with applicable approved data and the documentation and inspection requirements of our FAA Part 145 Repair Station.
We also take a practical approach to helping operators decide whether Starlink is the right fit for their aircraft and mission profile, rather than pushing every customer toward the newest technology regardless of need. Some operators benefit immediately from the switch, while others may be well served by their current system for now. We would rather give you an honest assessment than sell an installation you do not need.
Frequently Asked Questions: Gogo Connectivity
Starlink's satellite architecture is designed to deliver higher speeds and lower latency than many traditional systems, which can make a meaningful difference for video calls and other bandwidth-intensive uses in flight.
Compatibility depends on the aircraft make, model and configuration, availability of applicable approved installation data/STC, and the aircraft's structural, electrical and integration requirements. Our team can review these factors before confirming installation availability and scheduling.
Yes. For eligible aircraft, we can evaluate the existing installation and support a transition to Starlink, including removal of prior equipment where applicable and authorized.
We run thorough ground testing after installation to confirm the system is performing as expected before the aircraft leaves our facility.
Our team provides ongoing troubleshooting and maintenance support if any performance issues arise after the system is installed.
Not necessarily. We assess your aircraft, mission profile, and current connectivity setup honestly and let you know whether an upgrade makes sense for your specific situation rather than recommending it by default. We also offer Gogo connectivity.
