Following successful test flights carried out on ATR\u2019s 72-600 test aircraft in the past months, hardware for SpaceX’s Starlink connectivity product has been certified by EASA.<\/p>\n

Long-standing ATR customer Air New Zealand is said to be the launch customer, bringing internet to its domestic flights from 2025.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, PMV Engineering has developed the necessary modifications for the certification of the Starlink aeroterminal on ATR aircraft, which is now available as a retrofit option on ATR 72-500 and \u2013600 for all ATR operators through a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).<\/p>\n

Starlink is the world\u2019s first and largest satellite constellation using a low-Earth orbit to deliver broadband similar to that which passengers are used to having at home.<\/p>\n

Eric Sperazza, Chief Executive Officer at PMV Engineering, added: \u201cWe\u2019re honoured to be the providers of such a revolutionary technology onboard ATR aircraft, sharing our expertise and solution-led approach to open up new opportunities for ATR, its customers and their passengers.<\/p>\n

Daniel Cuchet, Senior Vice-President Engineering at ATR, commented: \u201cStarlink opens up a new era for ATR, offering unparalleled levels of comfort and passenger experience in the regional market. This achievement demonstrates our dedication to staying ahead of the curve, responding to the latest travel trends in line with our customers\u2019 expectations, and collaborating with industry-leading partners who share a vision of excellence and innovation to transform the way people experience air travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

This system will also allow pilots to connect to aviation weather services, enhancing flight safety through more informed decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
