The flyExclusive MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) division facilitated the Starlink installation. Low-profile and lightweight in design, Starlink Aero Terminals are designed to be installed in just a few hours, significantly reducing the time aircraft are out of service.
flyExclusive MRO is now targeting a five-to-seven day cadence as additional aircraft move through the pipeline. Management believes that experience enables the team to integrate Starlink efficiently while maintaining certification standards and minimizing aircraft downtime.
As demand for premium connectivity continues to increase, management believes reliable onboard internet has become a critical factor in aircraft selection and customer retention.
“Our team has extensive experience integrating advanced avionics and connectivity systems,” said Jim Segrave, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of flyExclusive. “Applying that expertise to Starlink allows us to execute quickly while expanding the commercial scope of our MRO business.”
In addition to deploying Starlink across its own fleet, flyExclusive MRO has secured a multi-aircraft customer installation agreement under its authorized dealership arrangement. Management views third-party Starlink installations as a meaningful step in growing maintenance and avionics into a standalone revenue vertical, further diversifying the company’s income streams beyond charter and fractional operations. The company expects continued fleet-wide deployment of Starlink while actively pursuing additional installation opportunities under its dealership program.
