ALAMO Engineering to Develop EASA STC for
Cessna Citation Latitude Midsize Jets
GENEVA, May 28, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- (EBACE, Booth I98) – Gogo Business
Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) today announced it is partnering with ALAMO
Engineering GmbH to develop a European Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) for the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna for Cessna
Citation Latitude midsize jets.
"The Gogo Galileo solution for midsize and smaller aircraft is
unique. It will finally provide a true broadband service to those
aircraft that fly in Europe, and
globally," said Joerg Gorkenant, general manager for ALAMO
Engineering GmbH. "We are pleased to partner with Gogo to develop
this STC that will bring unmatched, high performance inflight Wi-Fi
to Latitude operators around the world."
The STC for the Latitude will cover nearly 400 total aircraft in
operation today worldwide.
This will be the fourth STC for the HDX Gogo Galileo system.
Other European STCs include the Cessna Citation 525 series of
aircraft, encompassing the CJ1, CJ2, CJ3 and CJ4, and the Embraer
Phenom 300 through the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA). All of these STCs will be validated with other aviation
authorities worldwide.
"ALAMO Engineering will be a key strategic partner for Gogo as
we expand internationally and bring Gogo Galileo to market," said
Shuaib Shahid, head of international
sales for Gogo Business Aviation. "We will rely on their expertise
as a Design Organization partner and will continue to leverage
their domain expertise with EASA as we develop additional STCs
together in the future."
Gogo Galileo will operate on the Eutelsat OneWeb
enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite network, which is
fully deployed, and Gogo is now accepting purchase orders for the
new service.
Gogo will have a CJ1+ available for in-person demos of the Gogo
Galileo service at the European Business Aviation Conference and
Expo (EBACE) static display (stand AD_26) in Geneva, Switzerland, May 28-30.
In June, Gogo will be installing the Gogo Galileo HDX system on
its Bombardier Challenger 300 testbed and will begin flight testing
this summer.
