Gogo announced that its Galileo HDX antenna has received EASA approval through a supplemental type certificate (STC) developed by Switzerland-based QCM Design for legacy Bombardier Globals. Developed in collaboration with Germany’s ACC Columbia Jet Service, the approval covers the Global Express/XRS/6000/6500 and 5000/5500,

As part of the process, ACC Columbia completed the first installation on a Global 5000 operated by Austria-based charter and aircraft management company Skyside. Skyside’s Global 5000 had been modified with the Gogo Avance SCS platform a year ago. With the addition of the Galileo HDX satcom antenna, passengers now experience what Gogo describes as a terrestrial-like digital environment in the air.
