Gogo Business Aviation's dealers see strong demand for Gogo Galileo HDX and have now been contracted to complete 25 STCs covering an extensive list of aircraft makes and models.
“The exceptional response from our dealer network is a testament to the strong demand for Gogo Galileo in the industry,” says Sergio Aguirre, president and chief operating officer. “Gogo customers now have access to true aviation-grade broadband connectivity regardless of the size of aircraft they operate or where they fly.”
The STCs unlock a total addressable market of more than 18,000 aircraft globally, many of which have not had access to broadband inflight connectivity prior to Gogo Galileo. They are supported by Gogo's extensive dealer network in North America, Europe and South America, and will cover a range of airframes from super-light jets to ultra-long-range large-cabin aircraft, all to be completed in 2025.
The airframes include:
- Bombardier Challenger 300 series; Challenger 600 series; Global Express series
- Embraer Legacy 450/500; Legacy 600/650; Praetor 500/600
- Gulfstream G200; G280; GIV/GIV-X/G450; GV/G550
- HondaJet
- King Air series
- Learjet 40/45/70/75
- Embraer Phenom 100; Phenom 300
- Pilatus PC-12; PC-24
- Textron Citation Jet 525 series; Citation Latitude; Citation X/X+; Citation XL/XLS
- Beechcraft Hawker series
Gogo anticipates the STC portfolio will continue to grow in the coming weeks, and is in discussions with all of the business aviation aircraft manufacturers for aftermarket STCs and service bulletins.
The HDX antenna is designed with a small form factor to fit on any size business aircraft with peak speeds up to 60 Mbps, and mean speeds very close to peak at 57 Mbps.
The highly anticipated service, scheduled to launch later this year, is backed by Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit network which delivers low variability and consistent performance across all routes globally.
