Skyservice Business Aviation can now install Gogo’s low-earth-orbit (LEO) Galileo HDX satcom system on Bombardier Challenger 604, 605, and 650 business jets registered in the European Union, thanks to a new EASA supplemental type certificate (STC).

The STC helps “close a key gap in global certification coverage for operators seeking next-generation connectivity upgrades,” according to Skyservice. The FBO/MRO provider holds similar STCs from Brazil’s ANAC, the FAA, and Transport Canada. Gogo Galileo runs on the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO network, and the HDX electronically steered antenna delivers service speeds of up to 60 Mbps.
