Skyservice™ Announces Development of Gogo Galileo HDX STC for Gulfstream G280

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.
