The company has formed a strategic partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink Aviation, enabling the integration of cutting-edge satellite internet technology across its compatible aircraft. This advancement aims to deliver unmatched connectivity for passengers.

Revolutionizing In-Flight Connectivity

Starlink Aviation, the aerospace branch of SpaceX, is renowned for its innovative satellite internet solutions, which have transformed the landscape of in-flight connectivity. With this new system, OPUL Jets passengers will benefit from high-speed internet with low latency, allowing them seamless access to streaming services, live sports, movies, and more during their flights.

Diverse Fleet of Private Jets

As a premier brand in private aviation, OPUL Jets features an impressive fleet that includes Bombardier mid-size, super mid-size, and ultra-long-range jets. The company operates from strategically located hubs in major cities such as London, Dubai, Mumbai, and the Isle of Man, providing convenient access to global travel.

Enhanced Internet Speeds

The Starlink system promises download speeds between 40-220 Mbps and upload speeds ranging from 8-25 Mbps, with latency under 99 milliseconds. This robust performance allows passengers to stay connected while conducting business, enjoying live events, or simply browsing the internet, regardless of their location.

Initial Installation on Bombardier Global Express

OPUL Jets will first install the Starlink system on its Bombardier Global Express XRS aircraft. This ultra-long-range jet is perfectly suited for intercontinental travel, boasting a range of 6,500 nautical miles. Its configuration accommodates 16 passengers, providing a spacious and comfortable environment for both work and leisure, complete with onboard catering services.

Commitment to Superior Travel Experience

"Integrating Starlink technology into our fleet represents a transformative step for OPUL Jets and places us among the leading private jet companies globally," said Harry Ackerman, Group CEO. "Our commitment to providing a superior travel experience aligns perfectly with the capabilities of Starlink, ensuring that our passengers can stay connected to what matters most, wherever they are in the world."

Seamless Installation Process

The installation of the Starlink hardware is designed to be smooth and efficient, typically occurring during routine maintenance checks to minimize any service disruption. Each aircraft will be equipped with an Aero Terminal (the antenna), a Power Supply Unit, and two Wireless Access Points, all connected through minimal wiring. This efficient installation process is conducted by ACC Columbia in Germany, with support from the Starlink Aviation technical team.

Launch of Starlink Service

OPUL Jets will debut the new Starlink internet service on its Global Express aircraft, which operates under AV8Jet Charter Ltd. in Malta. This exciting development marks a significant milestone in the company's commitment to enhancing the travel experience for its esteemed clientele.
