Gogo Business Aviation and Satcom Direct have finalised an MoU with Airbus to advance connectivity solutions for Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) operators. The agreement will introduce Gogo’s Air-to-Ground (ATG) and Galileo satellite connectivity as retrofit options across all ACJ models.

The partnership will enable ACJ Connect Link customers to access high-speed broadband through Gogo’s Galileo Half Duplex (HDX) and Full Duplex (FDX) terminals, powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation. The system will provide seamless access to in-flight entertainment, flight deck services and high-speed cabin connectivity, supported by a global customer service network.

“We are very pleased to enter into this MoU agreement with Gogo, especially as we aim to offer our Airbus ACJ operators and business leaders the highest standard connectivity solutions and customer support,” says Airbus Corporate Jets president Chadi Saade. “This will allow them to be in the right place at the right time, connected and ready to act.”

Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo, adds: “With the Gogo Galileo solution, Airbus ACJ operators have immediate access to global, low-latency broadband service to support full connectivity capability and redundancy.”

Airbus will work with its partners to certify the terminal integration and generate the necessary supplemental type certificates (STCs) for installations. Following regulatory approvals, Airbus will lead sales and marketing efforts to promote the enhanced connectivity suite to ACJ customers.
