MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Skyservice Business Aviation
("Skyservice" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it will
develop a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to implement Gogo
Galileo HDX on Gulfstream G280 aircraft, ensuring operators have
access to the latest high-speed in-flight internet solutions and
positioning the Company as a leader in advancing connectivity for
business aviation.
"At Skyservice, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve
when it comes to supporting the latest advancements in business
aviation," said Benjamin Murray,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Skyservice. "The demand
for reliable, high-speed in-flight connectivity is higher than
ever, and our development of this STC for Gogo Galileo HDX is a
direct response to meeting that demand with cutting-edge
solutions."
Gogo Galileo, the latest innovation from Gogo Business Aviation
(NASDAQ: GOGO), will provide operators worldwide with global,
high-speed in-flight internet and low-latency performance for every
size of business aircraft from light jets and turboprops to the
largest business jets. With its compact size, the HDX will leverage
Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite
network, designed for mobility to deliver low variability and
consistent performance across all routes globally.
Skyservice's STC for Gogo Galileo HDX will cover the Gulfstream
G280, a popular super-midsize business jet, with approximately 240
aircraft currently in operation worldwide. This STC is expected to
be validated by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), and the UK Civil Aviation
Authority (UK/CAA), which will allow operators globally to benefit
from the latest high-speed in-flight connectivity.
Operators can contact Skyservice to submit a purchase order for
the Galileo HDX, which is designed to be an easy upgrade to any
AVANCE system (AVANCE L3, L5, LX5, SCS). Installations are planned
for Q1 in 2025.
A special promotional rebate of $25,000 is also available for a limited time to
current Gogo customers operating a legacy air-to-ground system (ATG
1000, 2000, 4000, 5000) when installing AVANCE SCS and HDX.
Skyservice experts will be onsite at the National Business
Aviation Association (NBAA-BACE) in Las
Vegas at booth 2651 from October 22-24, to share more about Gogo Galileo.
Gogo will also offer in-person demos of the Galileo service,
available at the static display at AD_325.
