Duncan Aviation has completed the first installation of a Gogo Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna on a Bombardier Challenger 300, and flight testing of the low-earth-orbit satellite communications system has commenced. Gogo Business Aviation also unveiled system and service pricing for Galileo, which will launch commercially later this year. Gogo Galileo runs on the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite network.

The HDX is the smaller of two antennas that Gogo will offer, weighing 21.6 pounds and measuring 24 inches long, 11.8 inches wide, and 2.1 inches high. The larger FDX will be available in the first half of 2025 and weighs 40 to 45 pounds, with a length of 30 inches, width 24.6 inches, and height the same at 2.1 inches. Between the two sizes, Gogo said its antenna options will enable Galileo service “on any size business aircraft.”
