Planet Nine Private Air has selected Satcom Direct, the business aviation solutions provider, as its preferred connectivity supplier.

The Van Nuys, California-headquartered operator has acquired multiple Plane Simple Ku-band terminals to upgrade its fleet over a three-year period, with its Bombardier Global Express airframes already being equipped with the advanced connectivity solution.

Installation of the SD Plane Simple Ku-band terminals, which have been purpose-built for the business aviation sector, will give Planet Nine passengers and customers access to the Intelsat FlexExec network, the only dedicated business aviation airtime on the market.
