AeroMech’s STC leverages Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to deliver reliable in-flight connectivity over land, water and remote regions where traditional Wi-Fi services may be limited. The upgrade uses a Starlink Aviation Kit, which includes an Aero Terminal (antenna), Power Supply Unit (PSU), and a Wireless Access Point (WAP), requiring only a power input from the aircraft.

“With Starlink now available as an aftermarket option for Longitude customers, they can enjoy high-speed, reliable connectivity that keeps them productive and connected throughout their flight,” said Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support.

 “The Cessna Citation Longitude already delivers an exceptional experience with its quiet cabin, extended range and advanced avionics. Adding Starlink elevates that experience even further, helping customers stay focused on their mission without compromising on connectivity.”

Customers can schedule installations at North American Textron Aviation Service Centers and select international locations. Textron Aviation’s global service network includes more than 300 authorised facilities, mobile support units, and on-site technicians, providing comprehensive life-cycle support for its Beechcraft and Cessna customers.

Textron Aviation, known for its versatile product portfolio spanning business jets, turboprops, high-performance piston aircraft, and special mission platforms, serves customers in over 170 countries. Starlink, engineered and operated by SpaceX, is recognised as the world’s most advanced low-Earth orbit satellite constellation, capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls, and other broadband needs.
