Vallair, a leading aviation asset lifecycle support company, and AeroX, a specialist in advanced in-flight connectivity solutions, are proud to announce the signing of a strategic alliance enabling the fast and efficient installation of Starlink satellite communication systems across commercial aircraft fleets. With Starlink, passengers will have access to high-speed internet anywhere in the world, even in areas without coverage.
Under this agreement, Vallair will allocate dedicated night-shift modification capacity at its state-of-the-art maintenance centre in Châteauroux (France), enabling the rapid installation and integration of Starlink antenna systems on both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft operated by AeroX’s customers in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. This approach ensures airlines can upgrade connectivity offerings without disrupting scheduled operations.
Grégoire Lebigot, CEO & Founder of Vallair, commented, “We are honoured to contribute to this digital revolution in commercial aviation and to support the rapid deployment of this outstanding connectivity system for the benefit of AeroX’s customers.
“Beyond the installation programme, Vallair can also provide full base maintenance services, allowing operators to combine cabin connectivity upgrades with scheduled checks in our flagship hangar.”
Aaron Grigsby, Chief Executive of AeroX, stated, “We are extremely happy to provide our customers with a fast, reliable and centralised modification solution in an ultra-modern facility in the heart of Europe. Partnering with Vallair allows airlines to adopt Starlink connectivity with minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency.
The alliance strengthens both companies’ commitment to enhancing the passenger experience (which includes streaming entertainment platforms, online gaming, and cloud-based work), and supporting the next generation of real-time operational data, crew communication, and EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) performance reliability.
