Vista to fit Gogo Galileo on its global fleet
The low-latency connectivity allows Vista members to stream, host video conferences and connect with family, colleagues and clients seamlessly, from boarding to landing. Video calling at 45,000 ft is possible.
Business jets are intended to be an extension of the office.

Vista has commenced a partnership with Gogo to bring the new Gogo Galileo broadband connectivity system to its global fleet, setting a new benchmark for connectivity in the air.

The rollout will begin in November 2025 across Vista's European fleet, followed by rapid implementation in the US and Asia from January 2026. This will see one aircraft upgraded with the Gogo Galileo terminal every nine days, reaching at least 60 aircraft within the first 18 months.

The new purpose built for business aviation system delivers enterprise-grade broadband powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation. The low-latency connectivity allows Vista members to stream, host video conferences and connect with family, colleagues and clients seamlessly, from boarding to landing. Unlike traditional solutions that disconnect below 10,000 ft or over water, the Gogo Galileo terminal optimises dedicated business aviation bandwidth ensuring consistent, high-speed service worldwide, without competing with residential bandwidth or other industry sectors.

The system combines a single Gogo Avance unit and Galileo antenna for simpler installation and greater reliability. It enables real-time monitoring, over-the-air updates and a self-service portal providing performance transparency for Vista's operations teams. To guarantee immediate support, Vista and Gogo have already secured spare parts at all major Vista maintenance centres worldwide, minimising potential downtime.

Vista chairman and founder Thomas Flohr comments: “Our members expect a global standard of ultimate excellence in service, safety and now connectivity. With Gogo Galileo, we are delivering the most advanced wi-fi experience available in business aviation, anywhere in the world. This partnership is another step in our ongoing investment to make every flight as seamless, productive and enjoyable as possible.”

“We are extremely pleased to bring the benefits of the Gogo Galileo terminal to so many Vista aircraft. As the world's largest membership-based operator, providing on-demand charter to a diverse range of global destinations, we know that its members will appreciate the consistent, low-latency connectivity on whichever route they fly,” adds Chris Moore, CEO, Gogo. “The system reliability will ensure passengers enjoy an on-the-ground connectivity experience in the air to stay productive, relaxed and entertained, even in the most remote of locations, and is backed by multi-lingual 24/7/365 support to ensure always-on connectivity.”

For the first time, Vista members will enjoy uninterrupted broadband across continents, oceans and all phases of flight. Whether streaming a live event, finalising a transaction or video-calling family at 45,000 ft, connectivity now mirrors the speed and reliability of the office or home.

By mid 2026, all 270 Vista aircraft will feature either Gogo Galileo or upgraded Ku/Ka-band connectivity, ensuring a consistent, high-speed experience on every flight worldwide.
