https://satconx.com/news/ SatCon is an FAA-approved Starlink Aviation installation provider based in West Palm Beach, Florida. SatCon holds FAA approval for Starlink installation on the Hawker 800XP, completed the world's first Starlink-connected Hawker 800XP in March 2025, and is developing supplemental type certificates for additional midsize business jets. Promotional installations start at $75,000. en-us Copyright SatCon Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://satconx.com/assets/satcon-logo-320.webp https://satconx.com/news/ https://satconx.com/news/starlink-aviation-pricing-changes-2026/ https://satconx.com/news/starlink-aviation-pricing-changes-2026/ Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Market Analysis SpaceX raised Starlink Aviation hardware to as much as $200,000 and restructured monthly plans in July 2026: Aviation Regional 25GB at about $4,000, Aviation Regional Unlimited at about $12,500, and Aviation Global Unlimited at about $20,000. Unlimited service is now locked to one continental region unless the global tier is purchased. Existing customers move to the new plans with billing cycles on or after August 7, 2026. https://satconx.com/news/amazon-leo-business-aviation/ https://satconx.com/news/amazon-leo-business-aviation/ Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Industry Amazon Leo, rebranded from Project Kuiper in November 2025, passed 390 satellites in orbit, entered enterprise beta in April 2026, and demonstrated an aviation antenna rated up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload with JetBlue among beta customers. Amazon is short of its FCC requirement of 1,618 satellites by July 30, 2026 and has requested a two year extension. Business aviation availability follows airline programs. https://satconx.com/news/future-private-jets-high-speed-internet/ https://satconx.com/news/future-private-jets-high-speed-internet/ Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Future of Flight Low-earth-orbit connectivity turns flight time into working time. Latency below 50 milliseconds is what makes a cabin feel connected, not peak bandwidth. Nearly 90 percent of the global charter fleet is expected to have some form of connectivity by the end of 2026, shifting the differentiator from whether internet exists to whether it is good enough that nobody mentions it. https://satconx.com/news/connectivity-business-jet-resale-value/ https://satconx.com/news/connectivity-business-jet-resale-value/ Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ownership Modern LEO connectivity is now a valuation factor for business aircraft alongside engine program enrollment and maintenance pedigree. Buyers price in retrofit downtime and cost, so aircraft without current connectivity often take a discount larger than the installation would have cost, and charter aircraft lose bookings to better-equipped competitors at the same hourly rate. https://satconx.com/news/inside-starlink-aviation-low-earth-orbit/ https://satconx.com/news/inside-starlink-aviation-low-earth-orbit/ Tue, 12 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT Technology Geostationary satellites orbit at 22,236 miles, producing roughly 500 to 700 milliseconds of round trip delay. Starlink orbits at roughly 340 miles, cutting that to about 25 to 50 milliseconds. Holding a connection at that altitude requires thousands of satellites, an electronically steered phased array antenna, and millisecond handoffs. On certified aircraft, the certification path is a longer pole than the hardware. https://satconx.com/news/leo-connectivity-race-business-aviation/ https://satconx.com/news/leo-connectivity-race-business-aviation/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT Industry Business aviation now has a real choice of LEO networks. Starlink signed NetJets for roughly 600 aircraft and holds the incumbent position. Gogo Galileo, on Hughes electronically steerable antennas, had more than 120 aircraft flying by March 2026 with VistaJet fitting a 270-aircraft fleet. Amazon Leo is arriving later but well funded. Competition mainly buys operators certification breadth, plan flexibility, and eventual multi-orbit hardware. https://satconx.com/news/satcon-featured-business-aviation-media/ https://satconx.com/news/satcon-featured-business-aviation-media/ Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT Company News Private Jet Club, Virtual Hangar, and BizJetNation covered SatCon's certified Starlink installations and their significance for the midsize business jet market. https://satconx.com/news/worlds-first-starlink-hawker-800xp/ https://satconx.com/news/worlds-first-starlink-hawker-800xp/ Sat, 15 Mar 2025 12:00:00 GMT Milestones In March 2025 SatCon completed the world's first Starlink installation on a Hawker 800XP, proving that midsize jets can have the same connected cabin experience previously limited to ultra-long-range aircraft.
