NetJets Jets Set to Soar with Starlink Wi-Fi: Flying High with Elon Musk’s Space Web

TL;DR: NetJets is teaming up with SpaceX’s Starlink service to provide high-speed satellite internet on 600 of its private jets by the end of 2026.

Meta: NetJets boosts in-flight experience by installing Starlink satellite Wi-Fi on 600 private jets across the US and Europe, starting upgrades in late 2025.

Sky-High Streaming and Zoom Calls

Imagine soaring at 40,000 feet, jet-setter style, but with Wi-Fi so fast and reliable you could stream, Zoom, or work without a single "buffering" glitch. That’s the new reality NetJets is promising with its deal to install Starlink terminals on hundreds of private jets.

NetJets, the world’s largest private jet operator serving business elites and high-flying execs, announced a broad rollout of SpaceX’s Starlink Aviation internet grounded in satellite technology. The plan? Connect about 600 aircraft in the US and Europe, including models like the Cessna Citation Latitude, Embraer Praetor, and Bombardier Challenger.

Upgrades kick off right now and continue through 2026, transforming inflight experiences with access to high-speed internet even at remote altitudes and routes where cellular coverage usually vanishes faster than your airline peanuts.

Starlink’s charm isn’t just blazing speeds and coverage but simple, lightweight hardware and quick installs that won’t gap your jet’s interior with bulky boxes or dangling wires.

Unlike legacy in-flight Wi-Fi systems that often gurgle along painfully slow or drop out mid-zoom call, Starlink’s constellation of low-earth orbit satellites promises low latency, making your cloud gaming, video calls, and hot spot sharing as smooth as a private jet’s leather seats.

What’s Next?

Rollouts will begin immediately and hit major milestones by the end of 2026. For travelers, it means your private jet Wi-Fi passphrases will soon feel as reliable as your champagne.

Sky’s no limit when SpaceX and NetJets team up—business in the clouds just got a high-tech upgrade, and that’s one flight you want to be on.

Eddie says: "Now you can work, stream, whatever—just don’t forget to look out the window and soak those clouds, baby!"
