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

Gogo Business Aviation/Satcom Direct has signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus to bring Gogo’s comprehensive connectivity solutions to Airbus ACJ operators. Covered in the agreement are Gogo’s air-to-ground (ATG), FlightDeck Freedom, and Gogo Galileo satellite connectivity solutions that provide low-latency, high-speed aerial connectivity.
The move will allow Airbus’ ACJ Connect Link customers to retrofit ATG and Gogo Galileo half-duplex (HDX) and full-duplex (FDX) terminal hardware on all Airbus ACJ models. In addition, it will include the full suite of Gogo/Satcom Direct value-added services such as cybersecurity, crew training, and 24/7 customer support.
Under the deal, Gogo will supply ACJ operators with its next-gen phased array antennas to integrate into Airbus’ ACJ Connect Link solution. Airbus will work with MRO partners on supplemental type certificates for the HDX, FDX, and ATG equipment installations. The OEM will also lead the marketing and sales activities for these connectivity solutions.
“We are very pleased to enter into this MoU agreement with Gogo, especially as we aim to offer our Airbus ACJ operators and business leaders the highest standard connectivity solutions and customer support,” said Airbus Corporate Jets president Chadi Saade. “This will allow them to be in the right place at the right time, connected and ready to act…Gogo presents a compelling solution with its cutting-edge technology, backed by a global customer support team of industry experts.”
According to the companies, Gogo Galileo will allow global connectivity, enabling voice, internet, email services, video conferencing, gaming, and live movie and TV streaming from boarding to deplaning.
