Gogo Business Aviation today announced that Textron Aviation will install Gogo’s global Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) solution, Gogo Galileo HDX, as a factory option for the Cessna Citation Longitude, Citation Latitude and Citation Ascend business jet.
Textron Aviation, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, is the first business aviation OEM to offer Gogo Galileo HDX from the factory, securing a truly global connectivity solution with market-leading performance for its operators.
Gogo Galileo is built on Gogo’s best-selling AVANCE platform with a fuselage-mounted HDX antenna, designed to be small enough for business jets. With AVANCE at the heart of the system, Gogo Galileo is more affordable and easier to install and operate than other satellite systems operating today.
“We are honored to work with Textron Aviation to deliver Gogo Galileo HDX to its customers” said Sergio Aguirre, president and COO of Gogo. “Designed specifically for small to super midsize aircraft, the HDX antenna offers passengers a great inflight Wi-Fi experience.”
Gogo Galileo HDX remains on track for expected commercial launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. Textron Aviation’s integration of the HDX antenna is in work for all three Citations.
