A Second LEO Constellation
Amazon LEO, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is building a network of low-earth-orbit satellites designed to deliver fast, low-latency broadband.
Future-Focused Technology
Amazon LEO
A new low-earth-orbit constellation is coming online. Here is what it could mean for your fleet, and how SatCon is preparing.
Emerging Connectivity
The Next Orbit
Amazon LEO, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is Amazon's satellite broadband network built on a constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites. Like Starlink, its low orbit means low latency and high throughput, the qualities that make inflight video calls and cloud work practical.
Aviation hardware and certification pathways for Amazon LEO are still emerging. As an FAA certification holder focused exclusively on aviation connectivity, SatCon evaluates every new option as it matures so our clients are never locked out of the best network for their mission.
What to Know
Why a second constellation matters for your aircraft.
02
What It Means for Aviation
More constellations mean more capacity, more competition, and more options for keeping business aircraft connected on every mission.
03
SatCon Is Ready
We track emerging aviation hardware and certification pathways closely, so our clients can adopt new connectivity options as soon as they mature.

Amazon Leo and business aviation, answered
What is Amazon Leo and is it available for business aviation?
Amazon Leo is Amazon's low-earth-orbit broadband constellation, rebranded from Project Kuiper in November 2025. It entered enterprise beta in April 2026 with more than 390 satellites in orbit and has demonstrated an aviation antenna rated up to 1 Gbps download. Commercial airline programs come first, so business aviation availability is still ahead. SatCon tracks the program and will support it when certified aviation hardware reaches the business jet market.
Should I choose Starlink, Gogo Galileo, or wait for Amazon Leo?
Starlink has the largest constellation and the longest track record in business aviation. Gogo Galileo entered service in 2026 on Hughes electronically steerable antennas with more than 120 aircraft flying, and brings deep business aviation dealer and certification experience. Amazon Leo is further out for private aircraft. All three deliver latency low enough for a connected cabin, so the practical decision usually comes down to your routes, budget, and which system is certified for your airframe.
Why is low earth orbit better than traditional satellite internet for aircraft?
Geostationary satellites orbit at 22,236 miles, so a signal round trip takes roughly 500 to 700 milliseconds before the network does any work. Low-earth-orbit satellites like Starlink orbit at roughly 340 miles, cutting that delay to about 25 to 50 milliseconds. Below 50 milliseconds people stop noticing the network, which is why video calls and cloud applications work in a LEO-equipped cabin and struggle in a geostationary one.
Which aircraft are eligible for a SatCon Starlink installation?
SatCon's installation is FAA-approved for the Hawker 800XP today. Supplemental type certificate programs are in progress for the Dassault Falcon 900, Bombardier Challenger 850 and CRJ200, Embraer Phenom 100, Learjet 45, and Learjet 60. If your airframe is not listed, SatCon will review your aircraft and timeline directly.
