Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

Airbus Corporate Jets has received an EASA supplemental type certificate (STC) for the Gogo Galileo full-duplex (FDX) connectivity solution on its ACJ320ceo/neo series, bringing the highest-speed option in the ACJ Connect platform to the narrowbody family.
The certification covers an installation that centers on an electronically steerable flat antenna with two separate arrays—one dedicated to transmission and one to reception—enabling simultaneous two-way data transfer. That architecture allows the system to achieve download speeds of up to 195 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 32 Mbps, a significant step up from the half-duplex (HDX) solution previously certified on the ACJ319 family, which tops out at 60 Mbps down and 11 Mbps up.
Gogo’s Galileo service uses Eutelsat OneWeb’s low-earth-orbit (LEO) constellation of more than 640 satellites,&nbsp;delivering lower latency and broader coverage compared to&nbsp;traditional geostationary networks.
The ACJ Connect platform was developed jointly with Gogo and first announced in February 2025. Airbus is supplying the complete solution—including the STC, antenna hardware, and installation kits—through its network of service centers, with the first ACJ320-series aircraft now entering cabin outfitting.
“We are delighted to be among the first corporate aircraft manufacturers to offer and support a certified, fully integrated LEO in-flight connectivity solution,” said Chadi Saade, president of Airbus Corporate Jets.
Gogo’s chief commercial officer, Michael Skov Christensen, highlighted the security dimension of the system: “Gogo is proud of its commitment to data privacy and cybersecurity. We only use customer data for operations and never for any other purpose, including the development of other products or artificial intelligence.”
Airbus is positioning the FDX solution for government and head-of-state operators requiring secure, high-reliability communications alongside corporate operators for whom low-latency video conferencing and real-time data access are priorities.
FDX certification for the ACJ318, ACJ319, and widebody ACJ330 is expected by year-end.
