Developed and operated by private spaceflight company SpaceX, Starlink aims to provide low-cost internet to remote locations. Starlink is a consumer grade satellite network highly promoted for residential service in remote and rural locations and on the road RV installation. SpaceX branded its satellite-supported inflight connectivity service as Starlink Aviation. On February 2024, SpaceX dramatically lowered the monthly pricing structure for its Starlink Aviation inflight connectivity service packages for business aviation, offering a 20 GB package at $2,000 and an unlimited data plan package at $10,000. This compares to the $25,000 monthly package previously offered to operators.
