Starlink High-Speed Internet Now Available on the Cessna Citation Longitude, Enhancing In-Flight Connectivity Across More Destinations

Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced an additional high-speed internet connectivity solution for the Cessna Citation Longitude, following the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) issuance of AeroMech’s Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Starlink high-speed internet connectivity.
