C&L Aviation Services, a C&L Aviation Group company, has completed the installation of a SpaceX Starlink satcom system on an Embraer ERJ 140 aircraft. C&L, an authorized Starlink dealer,partnered with Aerospace Design & Compliance LLC to amend its existing ERJ 135/145 supplemental type certificate (STC) to install Starlink connectivity on ERJ 140.
