Textron Aviation adds Starlink high-speed internet availability to Cessna Citation Sovereign and Sovereign+

Textron Aviation announced an additional high-speed internet connectivity solution for the Cessna Citation Sovereign and Sovereign+ following FAA issuance of AeroMech’s STC for Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. AeroMech’s STC utilizes Starlink’s constellation of LEO satellites to provide more reliable connectivity over land, water and remote areas, where traditional in-flight Wi-Fi may not have service.

Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support commented: “We invest in product upgrades based on customer feedback, and they have been asking for the best in-flight connectivity options available in aviation today. We continue to expand our list of connectivity upgrades available for our customers. Offering Starlink for the Cessna Citation Sovereign and Sovereign+ adds another product to the list of what’s possible when you upgrade your aircraft with Textron Aviation.”

Customers can schedule the upgrade for installation at North American Textron Aviation Service Centers and select International Service Centers. AeroMech’s STC utilizes a Starlink Aviation Kit, consisting of an Aero Terminal (Antenna), Power Supply Unit (PSU), two Wireless Access Points (WAPs), harnessing and only requires power input from the aircraft.
