Gogo has completed its first South American installation of the Galileo HDX airborne connectivity system on a Brazil-based Embraer Phenom 300E operated by JBJ Agropecuária. The installation, conducted by Brazilian MRO provider TAM Aviação Executiva, was performed under a supplemental type certificate developed by Germany’s Atlas Air Service and approved by EASA. Validation by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency is pending.

The upgrade brings high-speed broadband capability to the aircraft via a compact, electronically steered antenna (ESA) linked to the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.
