AirX selects Gogo Plane Simple terminal for Bombardier Challenger 850 connectivity upgrades.

Gogo received EASA supplemental type certificate approval for Plane Simple Ku-band terminal installations on Bombardier Challenger 850s. The STC follows installations managed by Alamo Engineering on two Challenger 850s operated by European business jet operator AirX at the company’s London Stansted facility. 

Both aircraft are now operational with the terminals. The STC enables broader installations of the connectivity system on these Challenger models, and AirX plans to use the approval for a fleet-wide connectivity upgrade program. The terminals operate on the SES FlexExec satellite network. Gogo provided entry-into-service training at AirX’s UK facility and Malta base for crew and operations staff, along with round-the-clock customer support.
