Installations Expected To Begin After Aircraft Certifications Complete

Wheels Up and Gogo Business Aviation have reached an agreement to add Gogo Galileo HDX to the Wheels Up fleet of aircraft.

Gogo Galileo HDX is designed to deliver low-latency high-speed inflight WiFi to address the increased demand for data-intensive internet applications and services in use such as video, video conferencing, streaming, and more. The system utilizes the Eutelsat OneWeb enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) constellation of satellites.

Gogo Galileo HDX fits on any size business aircraft and is expected to deliver peak speeds of up to 60 Mbps with mean speeds of 57 Mbps.

George Mattson, Wheels Up CEO said, “Exceptional onboard Wi-Fi is a central in-flight experience feature our members and customers value when selecting an aircraft,” said. “Gogo is a long-term proven partner of ours, and their next generation Galileo HDX system is a key element of our fleet modernization plan. We look forward to delivering to our customers best-in-class connectivity as we become one of the first and only domestic fleets in private aviation with standardized satellite Wi-Fi capability.”

Sergio Aguirre, Gogo’s president and COO said, “With Gogo Galileo HDX on board, Wheels Up will be able to offer unparalleled performance to its members and customers on all aircraft it expects to add to its fleet. Today’s business aviation customers expect fast broadband inflight connectivity, and Gogo Galileo HDX will deliver.”
