Gogo issued first STC for Gogo Galileo FDX terminal by FAA

Gogo (GOGO) confirmed that the first Supplemental Type Certificate for the Gogo Galileo FDX terminal has been issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. Generated by ALOFT AeroArchitects, the inaugural certificate covers Boeing 737NG-based BBJ 1 and BBJ2, and BBJ MAX models, and can be modified to support subsequent Boeing BBJ 737 STC variants. Gogo worked closely alongside the ALOFT engineering team to develop the STC. An initial Gogo Galileo FDX installation has already been completed on an undisclosed customer’s Boeing BBJ 737-700IGW that was previously without connectivity. Complementing the advanced technology terminal, Gogo’s FlightDec Freedom, datalink service has also been activated to support crew operations. FDF supports trip planning, flight tracking, automated real-time weather information, geo-notifications, security events, and other critical flight path data for improved situational awareness, enhancing operational efficiencies.
