SpaceX has signed another customers for its Starlink Aviation service. On Monday Japan’s Zipair Tokyo announced they are adding Starlink to their fleet of aircraft, becoming the first airline in the Asia-Pacific region to sign on as a Starlink customer.In a press release Zipair said the addition of Starlink to their aircraft will “revolutionize the flying experience” by providing passengers with the same, or faster internet speeds than they experience at home.
Per a user on Reddit, there are now several tiers of Starlink Maritime available via Resellers:- Maritime Lite/Commercial - $1500- Dual Maritime Lite - $2500- Maritime/Premium - $6000- Maritime Pro - $7200- you can still buy Maritime from SL at $5000Maritime Lite is one dishDual Maritime Lite and Maritime Premoum is two dishesMaritime Pro is three dishes
SpaceX’s satellite unit Starlink has signed new deals with Australia’s Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and maritime communications provider Tototheo Maritime.The RFDS will use Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications services to provide connectivity to healthcare providers in rural Queensland, while Tototheo will resell services to ship operators within the merchant shipping, offshore, yachting, and fishing industries.
SpaceX has secured another major cruise line as a customer as Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has signed an agreement to provide Starlink internet onboard its cruise ships.We first reported on the possibility of NCL signing with SpaceX back in November when a passenger on the cruise ship Norwegian Breakaway spotted nearly a dozen Starlink Flat High Performance dishes. Drive Tesla reached out to NCL for confirmation, with the company replying they had no information to share at that time.While NCL still hasn’t announced anything officially, it looks like a little over two months later the company is all set to begin providing Starlink internet to its passengers. The information comes from Cruise Critic forum member ‘the more ports the better’ who is currently cruising on the Oceania Riveria. According to the user the cruise line’s internet department confirmed with him during a meeting that testing has been completed and the contracts have been signed for Starlink deployment across their entire fleet.
Indiana-based THOR Industries announced on Tuesday it has entered into an agreement with SpaceX to integrate Starlink flat high-performance dishes into select motorized recreational vehicles (RVs) in the U.S. and across the THOR family of companies in 2023.THOR says its family of companies are the first RV OEMs to work with SpaceX to integrate Starlink flat high-performance dishes. This includes companies like Airstream, Entegra Coach, Jayco and Tiffin, where select motorized RVs will get an option to add Starlink.

Exciting to see how this & other modes of high-speed connectivity can advance our communication & might alter how we do science on the ice!🇦🇶📡🛰❄️

I talked to someone successfully using Starlink for Arctic and Antarctic work, including for long-term unmanned sensors.Apparently, they even talked SpaceX into providing modified firmware that emphasize upload connectivity (little need for downloads at unmanned sensors).
QuoteStarlink is also available in French Guiana!That's all French overseas regions!- French Guiana- Guadeloupe- Martinique- Mayotte- RéunionStill to go, overseas collectivities.- French Polynesia: 2024- Saint Barthélemy: Live- Saint Martin: Live- Saint Pierre and Miquelon: No date- Wallis and Futuna: 2023
Starlink is also available in French Guiana!
What’s stopping the major international airlines from signing up to Starlink en masse?Was recently on a long distance Emirates flight and would sure have loved Starlink while flying between Dubai and Australia.

Most over-ocean locations require ISL.
@RwandaSpace issued a license to @SpaceX's Starlink, to operate in #Rwanda.“This is another milestone in our journey to leverage space capabilities for national development. #Satcoms will aid to achieve #Rwanda's digital inclusion targets" said @FRANCISNGABO, CEO of @rwandaspace

Starlink is now available throughout Colombia → http://starlink.com/map
SpaceX Starlink is now available throughout Brazil, allowing customers to order the service nationwide → http://starlink.com/map
Starlink is now available in Iceland → starlink.com/map
Starlink Maritime (and presumably aviation) are now available globally, and in territorial waters regulation permitting!
SpaceX is quickly taking over the cruise industry, with the latest cruise line operator Windstar Cruises announcing they are adding Starlink internet to their fleet of cruise ships.Windstar Cruises says they have already launched Starlink on-board Wi-Fi to their Star Pride ship during a recent voyage in the Caribbean. The company plans to offer Starlink on all of their ships by mid-2023, with the Star Legend next to receive the high-speed, low latency satellite internet service this spring, followed by the Wind Surf, Wind Star, and Star Breeze.
