Aircraft Wi-Fi has become more than a passenger convenience. For many owners and operators, it’s an important part of how the aircraft supports business, productivity and the overall passenger experience.

But with options ranging from Gogo ATG to GEO satellite systems and newer LEO solutions like Starlink Aviation and Gogo Galileo, choosing the right system isn’t as simple as comparing speeds.

Our Complete 2026 Guide to Business Aviation Wi-Fi breaks down the major connectivity options, installation considerations, costs and what to evaluate based on your aircraft and mission.

What does it take to succeed as one team?

At Elliott Aviation, it starts with how we work. Our nine Operating Principles provide a clear foundation for the decisions and actions that shape how we work every day.

These principles help guide how we serve our customers, support our teams, and approach our work, no matter our role.

Our principles are:
1. Customer First
2. Safety & Compliance
3. Deliver on Commitments
4. Every Role Drives Customer Success
5. Operational Excellence
6. Data Over Opinions
7. Be Proactive
8. Solve Problems
9. One Team

Over the upcoming weeks, we’ll take a closer look at each principle and what it means in action.

Because the way we work matters.

The 48-month inspection marks an important milestone in the Challenger 300’s maintenance program.

Often the first major heavy maintenance event for the aircraft, this inspection gives technicians access to areas that aren’t typically exposed during routine maintenance. Panels, fairings, access doors, and covers are removed throughout the aircraft to allow for more detailed structural and systems evaluations.

Technicians inspect for corrosion, fatigue, wear, environmental damage, and other potential issues while also testing major aircraft systems.

It’s an important opportunity to establish a baseline for the aircraft’s condition and address potential concerns before they become operational issues.

Adding air medical capability doesn’t always require a complete interior overhaul.

Our Moline team recently completed a partial medical reconfiguration on a Challenger 605, adding a Spectrum medical base while retaining the aircraft’s existing executive interior.

This targeted approach added the functionality needed for medical missions while preserving the aircraft’s existing cabin configuration and functionality.
