Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

The FAA and EASA have issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) to Dassault Falcon for installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX low-earth-orbit (LEO) satcom system on Falcon 7X and 8X trijets.&nbsp;Gogo’s HDX electronically steered antenna provides global coverage and download speeds up to 60 Mbps and uploads up to 11 Mbps on Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO satellite network. The half-duplex antenna measures 24 by 11.8 by 2.1 inches and weighs 21.6 pounds.
“Connectivity has become a core element of the Falcon customer experience, particularly on long‑range missions flown by the Falcon 7X and 8X,” said Dassault MRO sales support director Frederic Cadiou. “The approval of Gogo Galileo on these aircraft provides our operators with a high‑performance, reliable additional solution that meets rising expectations for global coverage and speed, while aligning well with the Falcon platform’s efficiency and design philosophy.”
Gogo’s connectivity subscription service includes value-added services such as cybersecurity protections and training, as well as 24/7 customer support in multiple languages.
