Aircraft Connectivity & Starlink Project Management
Connectivity is an aircraft integration project—not an accessory install.
Connectivity upgrades touch more than the antenna. Jet Karma coordinates the owner side of aircraft connectivity projects across installation scope, engineering, certification, cabin integration, schedule and acceptance.
What Aircraft Connectivity & Starlink Project Management Includes
- Solution and installation-scope coordination
- Installer, MRO and engineering interface
- Aircraft downtime planning
- Engineering and certification coordination
- Cabin network and system-integration coordination
- Installation-progress surveillance
- Discrepancy tracking and closeout
- Acceptance support
The owner should understand not only what technology is being installed, but what the installation changes on the aircraft, how long it will take and what must be resolved before redelivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does aircraft connectivity management include?
Independent oversight of connectivity and Starlink installation projects — equipment selection, installation coordination, and final acceptance on the owner’s behalf.
How long does a Starlink installation take?
Installation timelines vary by aircraft type and STC status, typically ranging from a few days to about a week of aircraft downtime, plus scheduling lead time.
Can Starlink be installed alongside other refurbishment work?
Yes — connectivity upgrades are frequently combined with cabin refurbishment or paint projects to minimize aircraft downtime.
What should be verified after a connectivity installation?
System performance testing, antenna and equipment integration, and confirmation that the installation matches the approved STC and scope.
Does connectivity management cover systems besides Starlink?
Yes — Jet Karma manages a range of cabin connectivity and systems integration projects, with Starlink being one common example.
