About Gogo Business Aviation

Updated 2026-09-10

Gogo Business Aviation is the leading provider of in-flight connectivity solutions for business aviation, operating proprietary air-to-ground networks across North America while delivering high-speed satellite coverage worldwide. The company harnesses LEO, GEO, and ATG networks to provide redundancy, maximum coverage, and ultimate reliability for private aircraft connectivity.

Gogo Galileo represents the company's next-generation LEO satellite service, partnering with Eutelsat OneWeb's constellation of 588 low-Earth orbit satellites to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet to business aircraft regardless of size or geography. Galileo covers 99% of business aviation routes with enterprise-grade connectivity purpose-built for mobility, offering extremely low latency under 200 milliseconds roundtrip for exceptional in-flight productivity exceeding traditional GEO satellite performance.

The Galileo HDX (half-duplex) and FDX (full-duplex) electronically steerable antennas are purpose-built for business aviation, with HDX optimized for smaller aircraft and FDX designed for aircraft carrying multiple passengers using multiple devices simultaneously on international routes. Multi-orbit, multi-band connectivity combining Ka-band GEO and Ku-band LEO provides resilience and continuous connectivity through network redundancy.

Gogo's Essential service delivers core North American connectivity via air-to-ground networks covering the contiguous United States, parts of Canada, and Alaska with flexible hourly-to-unlimited plans. Signature Solutions provide high-speed, low-latency WiFi enabling simultaneous streaming, browsing, and cloud work. The company maintains over 120 authorized dealers, operates as a factory option at major business aviation OEMs, and provides enterprise-grade cybersecurity with end-to-end encryption and real-time threat monitoring for demanding corporate aviation customers.
