Starlink has doubled the price of its Business Jet plans<\/strong>. For those of us who already have Starlink on the aircraft, the new prices kick in from the next billing cycle starting on or after 7 August 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So we’re talking about the full-size Business Jet terminal here. Aviation Mini is a separate product and isn’t affected.<\/p>\n

Before the change, there were two plans:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Plan<\/th>\nPrice<\/th>\nData<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Business Aviation 25GB<\/td>\n$2,000\/month<\/td>\n25GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Business Aviation Unlimited<\/td>\n$10,000\/month<\/td>\nUnlimited<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(side note of semi-interest: the old Aviation Jet 20GB plan was renamed Business Aviation 25GB earlier this year, with the allowance increased to 25GB)<\/em><\/p>\n

There are now three:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Plan<\/th>\nPrice<\/th>\nData<\/th>\nCoverage<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Aviation Regional 25GB<\/td>\n$4,000\/month<\/td>\n25GB<\/td>\nOne region<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aviation Regional Unlimited<\/td>\n$12,500\/month<\/td>\nUnlimited<\/td>\nOne region<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aviation Global Unlimited<\/td>\n$20,000\/month<\/td>\nUnlimited<\/td>\nWorldwide<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(side note of likely more interest: hardware and installation cost has gone up too, although that’s a one-off cost and varies depending on where you get it installed)<\/em><\/p>\n

So some big price increases<\/strong> all around!<\/p>\n

Regional vs Global<\/h4>\n

Starlink has divided the world into six areas (see maps below), and a Regional plan only works inside the region you have selected.<\/strong> You can change regions during the month, but if you cross the boundary the service stops as soon as you leave your selected region! It won’t switch you to Global Unlimited automatically – you’ll need to contact Starlink and change your region to get it working again.<\/p>\n

Regional coverage also includes ocean inside the region<\/strong>, so the Mediterranean for example is covered as part of the Europe region.<\/p>\n

So the basic lowdown is this:<\/p>\n
