Business jet passengers expect to work and play in the air the same way they do on the ground, making inflight connectivity a must. Whether communicating with colleagues or streaming a movie to relax, travelers want a seamless connected experience. For many operators, this means installing the Space X Starlink system.

Starlink Specialists
Thornton Aviation was the first to install Starlink on a Bombardier Global 5000, and it was the first West Coast MRO to install Starlink’s satcom system on a Gulfstream 650. It also has installed the system in numerous other aircraft.
​
Starlink utilizes the low earth orbit constellation of approximately 6,000 satellites, providing unprecedented worldwide coverage. The high-speed internet enables download speeds of 200+ megabits per second, allowing HD streaming, Zoom video calls and large file downloads in flight.
