While Elon Musk’s vision of Starlink bridging the digital divide for underprivileged areas hasn’t materialized due to cost, the satellite internet service has revolutionized connectivity on the move. Launched in 2019, Starlink has rapidly transformed travel and logistics by providing high-speed internet access to everything from overland expeditions to seafaring vessels and airplanes.

This trend is poised to continue, with Starlink even finding its way onto future space missions. Despite its growing presence, Starlink hasn’t yet reached its full potential in terms of ubiquity. However, a recent development signifies a significant step forward.

Aircraft manufacturer Gulfstream has secured FAA approval to integrate Starlink directly into their jets during production, bypassing the need for after-market installations. The Gulfstream G650 and G650ER are set to revolutionize private aviation with the integration of Starlink satellite internet.

This cutting-edge technology will provide passengers with high-speed connectivity, enabling seamless video calls, cloud access, and data transfers at speeds ranging from 40 to 220 Mbps, with latency below 99 milliseconds.

These luxury jets, renowned for their speed and range, will further raise the flying experience, offering passengers the ability to stay connected and productive while soaring through the skies.
