Vallair and AeroX, a specialist in advanced in-flight connectivity solutions, have announced a strategic alliance to accelerate the installation of Starlink satellite communication systems across commercial aircraft fleets. Starlink will enable passengers to access high-speed internet worldwide, including in regions that traditionally lack reliable coverage.
As part of the agreement, Vallair will reserve dedicated night-shift modification capacity at its state-of-the-art maintenance centre in Châteauroux, France. This arrangement will allow for the swift installation and integration of Starlink antenna systems on both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft operated by AeroX’s customers across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. By carrying out upgrades overnight, airlines can enhance onboard connectivity without affecting scheduled flight operations.
AeroX Chief Executive, Aaron Grigsby, said the partnership offers customers a fast, reliable and centralised modification solution located in the heart of Europe. He noted that working with Vallair will enable airlines to adopt Starlink with minimal downtime and improved operational efficiency.
The alliance reinforces both companies’ commitment to advancing the passenger experience, including uninterrupted streaming, online gaming and cloud-based work capabilities. It also supports the next generation of real-time operational data transfer, enhanced crew communications and improved Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) performance reliability.
