C&L Aviation Services has completed the installation of a SpaceX Starlink satcom system on an Embraer ERJ 140 aircraft. C&L, an authorised Starlink dealer, partnered with Aerospace Design & Compliance to amend its existing ERJ 135/145 STC to install Starlink connectivity on the ERJ 140. This recent installation paves the way for future installation projects on ERJ 140/135/145/Legacy 600 aircraft.
“Developing this STC and installing Starlink on ERJ aircraft points C&L in the right direction for future connectivity support,” said Charlie Carrol, avionics sales manager for C&L Aviation Services. “Starlink is gaining traction in the aviation world, and we at C&L look forward to growing our relationship with them.”
Starlink provides global connectivity, enabling content streaming and video calls in addition to talk and text. C&L shared that the technology allows for up to 220+ Mbps for downloading and up to 25+ Mbps for uploading.
In addition to aircraft and engine sales and leasing programmes, C&L offers parts support, heavy maintenance, interior refurbishment, aircraft teardown, disassembly services and aircraft management. C&L is headquartered in Bangor, Maine, with offices in the USA, Australia, Africa, Europe, Singapore and Latin America.
