FAI Technik, a German MRO provider for business jets and a wholly owned subsidiary of the FAI Aviation Group Holding, has been appointed an authorised dealer and installer of SpaceX's Starlink high-speed satellite internet solution for aviation, effective immediately. Installations will be carried out at FAI Technik's maintenance facility at Albrecht Dürer airport Nuremberg, further enhancing the company's aircraft modification and connectivity capabilities.
FAI Technik successfully equipped its first aircraft, a Bombardier Global Express XRS, with Starlink in June and is scheduled to complete additional installations across select aircraft within its fleet, bringing high-speed, low-latency connectivity to its own operations.
Concurrently, Starlink installation services are available to external aircraft owners and operators, enabling customers to upgrade their aircraft with the latest generation of in-flight connectivity.
