Dassault Falcon Jet (DFJ) MRO has received Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna.

"Connectivity has become a core element of the Falcon customer experience, particularly on long-range missions flown by the Falcon 7X and 8X," says Frederic Cadiou, Sales Support Director, Dassault MRO. "The approval of Gogo Galileo on these aircraft provides our operators with a high-performance, reliable additional solution that meets rising expectations for global coverage and speed, while aligning well with the Falcon platform's efficiency and design philosophy."

The Gogo Galileo system, powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb enterprise-grade low earth orbit (LEO) network, offers passengers and crew high-performance and reliable connectivity wherever they fly in the world. The HDX electronically steered antenna (ESA) provides a compact, lightweight, low power and high-performance solution with reliable speeds of up to 60 Mbps, optimized for light- to large-cabin aircraft.

"These STCs are very exciting, as the Dassault Falcon 7X and its successor, the Falcon 8X, are among the most popular ultra-long-range business jets thanks to their combination of performance, comfort, and advanced technology. Their customers – corporations, charter companies, and high-profile owners – expect reliable, high performance and private connectivity during their flights and that's what they'll get with the Gogo Galileo system," says Michael Skou Christensen, Chief Commercial Officer, Gogo.

In addition to consistent, high-speed inflight internet performance, Gogo equipped aircraft have access to Gogo's comprehensive suite of value-added services, including advanced cybersecurity protections and training, as well as industry-leading 24/7/365 global customer support in multiple languages.
