NetJets to outfit 600+ business jets with Starlink by end of 2026, trimming long Gogo tie

NetJets will install SpaceX Starlink broadband on more than 600 business jets through the end of 2026, beginning installations across its U.S. and Europe-based fleet. The move shifts the fractional operator away from a 20‑year relationship with Gogo and accelerates Starlink adoption in business aviation.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • NetJets will fit more than 600 business jets through the end of 2026 and begin installations in the U.S. and Europe, representing a large-scale retrofit programme that reduces reliance on its long-standing Gogo relationship.
  • The commitment reinforces rapid industry uptake of SpaceX Starlink for in‑flight connectivity and follows growing certification and retrofit momentum, including recent STCs and operator installations (see recent coverage of Starlink's role in business aviation and the FAA STC for the Citation Latitude).
  • Broader context: this rollout adds pressure on incumbent IFC suppliers and aligns with parallel airline and OEM moves toward LEO broadband retrofits and fleet upgrades (see reporting on airline Starlink retrofits and OEM retrofit programmes).
