Broomfield, CO. – Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) announced today that the first Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certification (STC) for a fuselage mount installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna has been approved. The STC has been awarded to Trimec Aviation, an FAA-certified MRO and avionics solutions provider, following installation on a Gulfstream G200 aircraft. Gogo worked closely with Trimec Aviation to obtain the STC approval which is now available through the Trimec Aviation headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.

This is the first STC approval for the low-earth-orbit (LEO) antenna awarded by the FAA and represents the first approval of the fuselage mount installation of the compact electronically steered antenna, ESA, in North America. Leveraging the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation, owners and operators of Gulfstream G200 aircraft will have access to global high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity coverage, enabling productivity, entertainment, and relaxation at the highest performance levels across any route flown. The flat panel antenna also adds redundancy to existing networks to boost reliability, ensuring consistent, uninterrupted LEO coverage globally.

“We’re incredibly excited to receive the STC for installing the Gogo Galileo HDX system on the Gulfstream G200 platform,” said Peter Rabadi, vice president of development at Trimec Aviation. “This achievement reflects the dedication of John Holland, general manager, and our highly skilled avionics team in delivering innovative, performance-driven aircraft upgrades. The Gogo Galileo HDX opens new possibilities for G200 operators, offering enhanced situational awareness, improved reliability, and next-generation connectivity for both the flight deck and cabin.” 

Trimec Aviation is supporting upgrade options for the retrofit installation, which requires fitting just two replaceable units: the fuselage-mounted ESA and the AVANCE SCS platform. This enables seamless upgrade pathways for the future, protecting the owners’ investment. 

“Owners of the super-mid-size jet can now optimize our advanced technology solution for best-in-class connectivity through this latest STC,” says Chris Moore, Gogo chief executive officer. “In addition to future-proofed connectivity, operators equipping their aircraft will benefit from added value services including live round-the-clock technical support, customized training, cybersecurity products, and the ability to maintain pace with future connectivity developments. 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.”
