Bombardier manufactures a variety of business aircraft models, provides engineering, and aircraft maintenance services.

Elevate MRO, a division of Elevate Aviation Group, has completed the installation of Starlink’s high-speed internet system on a Bombardier Global 7500, enhancing in-flight connectivity for passengers. This development follows the opening of a new maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC).
According to Elevate MRO president Jim Slack, this installation positions the company at the forefront of aviation technology. “With Starlink, we’re able to offer a seamless connectivity experience that meets the demands of today’s travelers,” he said.&nbsp;
Starlink Aviation, a SpaceX subsidiary, provides high-speed, low-latency in-flight internet service with global connectivity. Its download speeds range from 40 to 220 Mbps, allowing multiple passengers to stream content simultaneously while maintaining latency under 99 ms for activities such as video calls, online gaming, and using VPNs.
Starlink is authorized for use over international waters worldwide, while coverage over local territorial waters and land is subject to government approval. As of April 2024, regulatory approval for in-motion aviation service has been granted in more than 80 countries and territories.
Starlink Aviation has supplemental type certificates (STCs) available for 14 aircraft, including models from Airbus, Beechcraft, Bombardier, Embraer, and Gulfstream. More than 30 other STCs are currently in development, with approvals expected for a range of models over the next two years.
