Berkshire Hathaway’s NetJets has signed a multi-year agreement with Starlink to bring high-speed, low-latency internet to 600 aircraft across its global fleet by the end of 2026. The deal marks a significant upgrade in onboard connectivity, aimed at enhancing both productivity and comfort for passengers traveling for business or leisure.
NetJets President Patrick Gallagher said the partnership reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering a seamless travel experience. “With Starlink, travel is elevated with reliable connectivity…critical to the experience our Owners need and deserve,” he noted.
Installations are expected to begin this month across NetJets aircraft in the U.S. and Europe. The rollout will include Cessna Citation Latitudes, Embraer Praetor 500s, Cessna Citation Longitudes, Bombardier Challenger 350s and 650s, and the full Bombardier Global fleet.
Starlink, operated by SpaceX, uses a vast low-Earth-orbit satellite network—now numbering more than 8,000 satellites—to deliver broadband speeds up to 500 Mbps, even on remote global routes. “With Starlink onboard your NetJets flight, you’ll be able to boost productivity, have seamless video calls, stream on demand, and game just as you can on the ground,” said Jason Fritch, VP of Starlink Enterprise Sales.
The agreement positions NetJets to offer one of the most advanced in-flight connectivity experiences in private aviation, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
