Gogo has received FAA parts manufacturer approval (PMA) for its Galileo FDX electronically steered antenna (ESA), a step forward for its global low-earth-orbit (LEO) connectivity options for business aircraft. Commercial service entry for Galileo is expected by year-end.

With the approval in place, Gogo’s dealer network can pursue supplemental type certificates (STC) targeting super-midsize and large-cabin jets. The full-duplex antenna is designed specifically for business aircraft and is compatible with Gogo’s Avance platform. Using the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite network, Galileo supports high-speed broadband with download speeds up to 195 Mbps and upload speeds up to 32 Mbps.
