Buyers of Cessna Citation Longitudes and Latitudes set for delivery starting in 2028 can select Gogo Galileo with free installation, according to Textron Aviation, making it “the first original equipment manufacturer to provide such an option for customers.”
The FAA has issued a supplemental type certificate for installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satcom system in these jets. Galileo runs on Eutelsat’s OneWeb global LEO satellite network, which provides download speeds of up to 60 Mbps.
Customers who select Gogo Galileo for their Longitudes and Latitudes will pay a guaranteed service rate for three years. The three-year retail price lock fee for Galileo service is $10,500 per month for unlimited service. The fee for 25 GB is $3,500, or $7,000 per month for 50 GB, with overages costing $215 per GB.
“To stay productive wherever they fly, our customers rely on connectivity, and they're looking for solutions that perform reliably around the world,” said Chris Hearne, Textron Aviation’s senior v-p of engineering and programs. “Achieving FAA certification of Gogo Galileo HDX on the Citation Longitude and Latitude is the result of a strong effort across our teams and gives customers another factory-supported connectivity option to keep them connected wherever their missions take them.”
