Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced the successful
completion of its 100th Starlink high-speed internet installation. The system was installed on a Gulfstream
G650ER at the company’s Fort Worth Alliance Service Center in Texas.
This milestone comes less than a year after Gulfstream received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
supplemental type certification to install Starlink on the award-winning G650 and G650ER, providing
customers with the added convenience of working directly with the company to upgrade connectivity for
their aircraft. To date, Gulfstream has earned similar certifications from the FAA to install Starlink service
on the G800, G700, G600, G500, G550 and GV models with plans to add more. Gulfstream customers also
have the option of Starlink installations on in-production G800, G700, G600 and G500 aircraft.
“No one knows Gulfstream aircraft better than we do, and by providing these additional certified
installation capabilities within our facilities, customers can work directly with our experts,” said Lor Izzard,
senior vice president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “We value customers’ trust in our team as we
continue to deliver a seamless, safe and high-quality service experience.”
Starlink gives passengers simultaneous access to a variety of in-flight services, including video calls, cloud-
based offerings and data transfers through its high-speed in-flight connectivity, which delivers latency less
than 90 milliseconds and download speeds of 100 – 250 Mbps.
Gulfstream customers who are interested in having Starlink installed on their aircraft should reach out to
their Gulfstream Customer Support sales representative.
