Clay Lacy Aviation completes initial Starlink installations

Clay Lacy Aviation has expanded its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services by completing its first five installations of Starlink. Expert maintenance technicians at Clay Lacy’s Waterbury-Oxford Airport (KOXC) and Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) FAA Part 145 Repair Stations completed the work on three Gulfstream G550s, a G650ER, and a Bombardier Global 6000.

The work comes just months after Clay Lacy became one of the first authorized dealers and installers for the satellite-based internet solution that enables inflight 4K video calls, streaming, online gaming, and virtual private networks. The first installations have averaged three weeks and have been paired with additional inspections and upgrades to best optimize the downtime of the aircraft.

“There has been high demand for this transformative connectivity technology,” said Edward Diaz, Avionics Operations & Sales Manager for Clay Lacy Aviation. “Our team is moving quickly to provide low-downtime, expertly completed installations so that owners and operators can get the most out of their aircraft. Starlink will enhance operations for crew members as well as provide a better flight experience for travelers.”
