GULFSTREAM FIRST OEM TO LINK-UP WITH STARLINK

ON OCTOBER 28, 2024, GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP. announced a significant advancement in passenger connectivity for its business jets. The company received the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certification to install Starlink high-speed internet on its flagship G650 and G650ER aircraft. This certification enables G650 and G650ER owners to upgrade their in-flight connectivity directly with Gulfstream, streamlining the installation process and ensuring a level of quality control customers expect from the luxury aircraft manufacturer.

“Starlink is an offering that we know is important to operators,” commented Derek Zimmerman, President of Gulfstream Customer Support. He highlighted Gulfstream’s extensive efforts to ensure a smooth integration, adding, “Our team has invested

extensive time and resources preparing for this certification, and we are well-positioned across our service network to provide a seamless installation. Having the capability to install this connectivity upgrade at our own facilities, in the hands of our trusted team of experts, is part of our ongoing commitment to our customers.”

With Starlink, Gulfstream’s G650 and G650ER passengers gain simultaneous access to robust high-speed in-flight connectivity that can support video calls, cloud-based applications, and data transfers, at impressive download speeds ranging from 40 to 220 Mbps and a low latency of under 99 milliseconds. This technology enables a seamless online experience in the air, similar to that available on the ground, meeting the connectivity demands of modern business travelers.

Celebrating this milestone, Gulfstream announced the achievement on social media with the post: “#Starlink has arrived — Gulfstream has officially received FAA supplemental type certification to install the high-speed internet service on the G650/ER.”

TRUMP'S VICTORY: WHAT WILL IT UNFOLD FOR INDIA

For India, one of the most significant aspects of Trump's return will be his approach to China. There is a possibility that Trump will continue to view India through a transactional lens, prioritising trade deficits and economic returns. The role which the US plays as the global tech powerhouse is the model for future growth which cuts across economy to security. In all potential, there are mostly positive signs, rather another defining era for Indo-US relations could unfold if indicators are right. The convergence of mutual interest for both democracies is too obvious.
