SmartSky Networks, the innovative air-to-ground inflight connectivity provider, announced Banyan Air Service as a new sales and installation partner. The Florida-based full-service Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) operation is now offering services to install and upgrade private jets and turboprop aircraft to the fastest and most reliable connectivity solution in operation today.
“We are proud to provide more services than any other aircraft support facility in Florida and are committed to offering our customers the latest and greatest enhancements to their aircraft. As a sales and installation partner for SmartSky, we have experienced the system for ourselves. We are pleased to say it delivers an impressive connectivity experience, as advertised, and we are excited to bring this game-changing product to our customers,” said Director of Avionics for Banyan Air Service, Danny Santiago.
Banyan is authorized to install both the SmartSky Flagship system for mid to large cabin jets as well as SmartSky LITE, the first-ever streaming-level connectivity solution for smaller business aircraft.
Santiago continued, “We do a lot of work on King Airs here and it is really exciting that these smaller business aircraft are going to be able to have a streaming-level IFC solution in a smaller ‘footprint’ platform. This will allow King Airs to upgrade to SmartSky’s broadband connectivity, just like larger aircraft.”
Based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Banyan is an FAA and EASA-approved repair station and has earned repair station designations and approvals for over 10 countries. The experienced MRO provider offers 24-hour, full-service operations for aircraft owners, charter operators, corporate flight departments, flight schools and government agencies.
