• Strong Operator Demand Drives Pricing Announcement as FAA STC Review Advances; Expedited Installation Available at $84,000

SANDPOINT, Idaho, June 30, 2026 — Tamarack Aerospace Group today announced pricing for Tamarack AirConnect™, its purpose-built in-flight broadband connectivity system for the Cessna Citation 525, 525A, and 525B. The announcement follows strong operator demand since the product’s introduction in May, with reservations secured across a broad cross-section of the Citation CJ community. Tamarack is now accepting deposits to convert reservations into priority installation slots.

Pricing
Tamarack AirConnect is available under two installation configurations:
Expedited Installation — $84,000: Aircraft back in service in 3 business days.
Standard Installation — $79,000: Completed in 5 business days.
A fully refundable deposit of $12,500 secures a priority installation slot. If circumstances change, the deposit is returned in full, no questions asked.

FAA Certification Progress
Tamarack’s Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) application is progressing through the FAA’s certification review. Tamarack AirConnect has been in active flight trials since March 2026, validating installation procedures and real-world in-flight performance across a range of operational conditions. A second customer aircraft has now joined the flight trial program, expanding the validation dataset ahead of certification.

Tamarack will publish updates as FAA certification milestones are achieved. Upon STC issuance, Tamarack AirConnect installations will commence at Tamarack-authorized service facilities in deposit-priority order.

The Tamarack AirConnect System
Tamarack AirConnect is a permanently installed, aerodynamically optimized connectivity system engineered specifically for the 525-series airframe. A purpose-built fairing-enclosed antenna assembly provides continuous sky coverage through all phases of flight. Once on the ground, the system powers down automatically.

Tamarack AirConnect is designed to operate on your choice of LEO broadband service provider. Operators select, subscribe to, and contract their preferred service plan directly with the provider of their choosing. Tamarack Aerospace Group is the developer, STC holder, and installer of the Tamarack AirConnect hardware system and is not a reseller or provider of satellite connectivity service.

“We’ve been flying with the system since March, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. It just works. It’s always on, it’s fast, and I don’t have to think about it. That’s a big step forward from anything we’ve had before.”
— Citation CJ1 Owner and Pilot

“Operators responded to our May announcement with exactly the kind of conviction we hoped to see. The reservations we’ve secured reflect genuine demand from experienced Citation pilots who understand the value of a certified, permanently installed broadband system. We’re moving through FAA certification with confidence, and we look forward to putting Tamarack AirConnect on the first certificated aircraft.”
— Jacob Klinginsmith, President, Tamarack Aerospace Group
