Skyservice secures ticks for Galileo HDX on Challengers
With Transport Canada approval already obtained earlier this year for the Challenger CL604, CL605 and CL650, Skyservice has extended this to the United States and Brazil, where it also covers the G280.

Skyservice Business Aviation has gained supplemental type certificate (STC) approval from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC) for the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna on Bombardier Challenger CL604, CL605 and CL650, and the Gulfstream G280.

Earlier this year, Skyservice received Transport Canada certification for the same system on the Challenger models.

“With FAA, ANAC and TCCA STCs secured, Skyservice is uniquely positioned to service operators in United States, Canada and Brazil,” says Benjamin Murray, president and chief executive officer of Skyservice. “Our team's deep technical expertise and forward-thinking approach make us the go-to partner for installing the Gogo Galileo HDX system. This isn't just about faster internet; it's about revolutionising the passenger experience, unlocking real-time operational efficiencies and future-proofing aircraft with cutting-edge technology that protects long-term asset value. We're proud to help our clients stay ahead of what's next in aviation.”

The approvals will enable aircraft owners and operators across North and Latin America to upgrade to the Gogo Galileo HDX system, providing high-speed global Wi-Fi for passengers and crew. The system supports video conferencing, real-time data exchange and premium entertainment worldwide.

Skyservice has started scheduling installation slots and is advising clients to align their upgrades with their next major inspection to minimise downtime.
