Yingling Aviation has successfully completed its first installation of Starlink on a Bombardier Global, marking a significant milestone in next-generation inflight connectivity. The installation provides seamless, high-speed, low-latency internet access, delivering an unmatched inflight experience for business aviation. The aircraft’s operator, recognizing the increasing demand for reliable, global connectivity, selected Starlink for its unlimited data, cost-effective pricing, and ease of use.

Mike Carney, Director of Aviation commented: “My Principal needs to be connected 24/7 with his business. Cost was a huge driver, and we decided to go with this new player in connectivity, Starlink. The unlimited WiFi with no contract and month-to-month flexibility was a major factor. The app is very user-friendly and allows you to track usage.  Our test flight was flawless - speeds were exceptionally fast, even with 10 users streaming simultaneously. During testing, crew members used WiFi for live weather satellite streaming while others were on their phones, yet we still saw speeds up to 290 Mbps in flight and over 800 Mbps on the ground, with no delays or latency issues."

Yingling Aviation’s expert avionics team handled the installation with precision, ensuring seamless integration into the Bombardier Global airframe.

Josh Peterson, Regional Sales Manager / Avionics Technical Sales Manager at Yingling Aviation stated: “We’re excited to offer Starlink as a connectivity solution for our customers. This installation underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology and top-tier service. With Starlink, operators can now enjoy high-speed internet without the limitations of traditional satellite systems.”

As Starlink continues to revolutionize inflight connectivity, Yingling Aviation remains at the forefront of MRO innovation, offering tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of business aviation.
