Skyservice achieves Challenger Galileo HDX milestone
Transport Canada approved the work as Skyservice began installations and sought FAA, EASA and ANAC validation to expand availability.

Skyservice Business Aviation has gained Transport Canada approval for its STC of the Gogo Galileo HDX system on Bombardier Challenger 604, 605 and 650 aircraft. It is now the only MRO in North America to have completed this certification for these aircraft models.

President and CEO Benjamin Murray says: “Connectivity is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity for today's business aviation clients. We're proud to offer Challenger owners and operators high-performance, future-ready solutions, keeping them connected anywhere in the world.”

Skyservice has already carried out two installations of the Galileo HDX system on a Challenger 605, and work is ongoing to obtain validation from the FAA, EASA and ANAC, covering up to 570 aircraft. The system can be fitted in as little as seven business days for Challengers that already feature Gogo Avance.
