Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) 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, providing a global connectivity solution with market-leading performance for its operators. Gogo Galileo is built on Gogo’s AVANCE platform with a fuselage-mounted HDX antenna, designed for business jets.
“We are honored to work with Textron Aviation to deliver Gogo Galileo HDX to its customers,” said Sergio Aguirre, president and COO of Broomfield-based Gogo. “Designed specifically for small to super midsize aircraft, the HDX antenna offers passengers a great inflight Wi-Fi experience.”
Gogo Galileo HDX is expected to commercially launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. Textron Aviation’s integration of the HDX antenna is underway for all three Citation models.
