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

Pro Star Aviation has received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval to install the Gogo Galileo low-earth-orbit (LEO) connectivity system on the Pilatus PC-12, marking the first satellite internet option of its kind available to operators of the turboprop single.
The Londonderry, New Hampshire-based company—an authorized Pilatus sales and service center—announced the certification yesterday. Purpose-built for aviation, the Gogo Galileo system relies on a compact antenna that Pro Star mounts above the aircraft’s cargo door. It can function on its own via the Galileo Smart Cabin router or work alongside an existing Gogo Avance air-to-ground installation, giving owners a path to upgrade from older connectivity platforms.
The STC-approved design is available for new-production and in-service aircraft, said Jeff Shaw, director of sales and marketing at Pro Star Aviation.&nbsp;The company intends to pursue international validations in Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil.
According to Pro Star, the system maintains connectivity from takeoff through touchdown with near-global coverage, including over open water, in remote areas, and in polar regions where conventional systems can be insufficient. The company said operators flying varied mission profiles should encounter few service constraints apart from certain geopolitical restrictions.
