HAWTHORNE, Calif. — SpaceX has overhauled its Starlink Business Aviation plans, restructuring the lineup this week around how private and business jet operators actually use connectivity — and adding a new premium tier in the process. The changes underscore Starlink's growing pricing power in one of the most demanding, high-value corners of the connectivity market.
The refreshed menu draws a cleaner line between regional and global coverage, and it leans into the kind of high-performance, low-latency service that only a fully deployed low-Earth-orbit network can deliver at cruising altitude.
A New Unlimited Regional Option
The headline addition is Aviation Regional Unlimited, a new $12,500-per-month plan offering unlimited data, coverage across a single continental region, and speeds up to 500 Mbps. It slots between the entry Aviation Regional 25GB tier, now $4,000 a month with speeds up to 250 Mbps, and the flagship Aviation Global Unlimited plan.
That top tier — now $20,000 a month — delivers unlimited data, worldwide coverage, and speeds up to 1 Gbps when paired with Starlink's Aviation Performance Antenna. For operators flying intercontinental routes with cabins full of executives who expect ground-quality internet, that is a level of throughput legacy in-flight systems have never approached. Hardware for business jets now runs $200,000, reflecting the advanced phased-array antenna doing the work. The new pricing is live for new customers, while existing Business Aviation users transition on or after August 7. Smaller General Aviation plans for owner-pilots are unaffected.
