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

Gogo Business Aviation is reporting a surge in demand for its Gogo Galileo HDX global broadband satellite service, prompting the company to double production ahead of its commercial launch. It also announced a $25,000 rebate for current customers transitioning from legacy air-to-ground systems.
Sergio Aguirre, Gogo’s president and COO, described the response as a “tidal wave of demand” for the aviation-grade low-earth-orbit (LEO) connectivity solution.
Set to launch later this year, Galileo HDX will leverage Eutelsat OneWeb’s enterprise-grade LEO network, promising consistent performance across global routes. Gogo's Galileo service is expected to deliver peak speeds of 60 Mbps, along with average speeds close to 57 Mbps.
In September, Gogo made a significant strategic move, announcing plans to acquire Satcom Direct for $375 million, enhancing its capabilities in satellite communications and expanding its product offerings. This acquisition not only will incorporate Satcom Direct’s Plane Simple antenna and hardware for geostationary networks but also complements the Galileo system, allowing for a comprehensive range of connectivity solutions.
Gogo’s dealer network is on track to secure 27 supplemental type certificates (STCs), unlocking a potential market of more than 18,000 aircraft that have lacked broadband in-flight services. Recent flight tests on a Challenger 300 have confirmed the system’s reliability, with more STC contracts expected soon. Gogo is accepting purchase orders for HDX, which integrates seamlessly with existing Avance systems.&nbsp;
To incentivize upgrades, Gogo is offering the limited-time $25,000 rebate to current customers transitioning from legacy air-to-ground systems to the Avance SCS and HDX solutions.
