Nearly nine months after Viasat announced it would offer Ka-band connectivity on Bombardier Challenger 300s and 350s, the satcom provider has received STCs from the FAA and EASA for these super-midsize business jets. The STCs allow the installation of Viasat’s Ka-band Global Aero Terminal 5510 at Bombardier service centers.
