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

Trimec Aviation received the first FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for a fuselage-mount installation of Gogo’s Galileo HDX low-earth-orbit antenna system on a Gulfstream G200, marking the initial North American approval for the compact electronically steered antenna configuration.&nbsp;Only two replaceable units are required for the retrofit installation: the fuselage-mounted electronically steered antenna and Gogo Avance system.
With the STC approval, G200 operators will be able to access global high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity through the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation, providing enhanced performance for productivity, entertainment, and communications across all flight routes. The flat panel antenna system adds network redundancy to boost reliability and ensure consistent LEO coverage worldwide.
“We’re incredibly excited to receive the STC for installing the Gogo Galileo HDX system on the G200,” said Trimec Aviation v-p of development Peter Rabadi. “This achievement reflects the dedication of John Holland, general manager, and our highly skilled avionics team.”
Trimec Aviation, an FAA-certified MRO and avionics solutions provider based in Fort Worth, Texas, collaborated closely with Gogo to secure the certification. The approval provides super-midsize jet owners access to high-speed connectivity along with technical support, customized training, and cybersecurity products.
“We’re very pleased to have our first FAA-approved STC and expect to have several more confirmed before the end of the year, covering a wide variety of aircraft,” said Gogo CEO Chris Moore.
