Canadian aviation services provider Skyservice Business Aviation has been awarded a supplemental type certificate (STC) from Transport Canada for the installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX system on the Gulfstream G280 super-midsize business jet. Validations of the STC from the FAA, EASA, and Brazil’s ANAC are still pending.

The HDX features a 21.6-pound, electronically steered antenna mounted on the top of the aircraft fuselage. Launched last year, the Galileo low-earth-orbit satellite communications system—backed by Eutelsat OneWeb’s network—offers service speeds up to 60 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload.

Skyservice holds numerous STCs from multiple authorities on many cabin connectivity solutions. This latest provides another option for G280 operators needing to upgrade their systems, particularly those using legacy Gogo ATG products. It offers a streamlined opportunity for them to change to low-latency, high-speed broadband ahead of the end-of-2025 conversion deadline.

“We continue to expand our capabilities to support the latest in-flight connectivity solutions,” said Skyservice president and CEO Benjamin Murray. “Our robust and certified list of STCs alongside our expert aircraft maintenance engineers provides our clients with choice, accessibility, and consultancy to the fastest, most reliable connectivity options available in business aviation today.”
