Dassault Falcon business jets can now be equipped with Gogo Galileo HDX after FAA supplemental type certification cleared the path.
The FAA has issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) allowing Dassault Falcon business jets to install the Gogo Galileo HDX satellite communications system, giving operators access to higher-speed global in‑flight internet and wider coverage for long overwater routes.
The Gogo Galileo HDX system promises better bandwidth and more consistent connections across oceanic and remote flight paths, improving productivity for business travelers and the passenger experience on transatlantic sectors.
Galileo HDX uses a mix of geostationary and low-earth-orbit links (satellite architectures vary by provider) to deliver faster browsing, video calls, and streaming. The FAA STC means maintenance shops and completion centers can now install approved HDX hardware and antennas on Falcon-series aircraft with compliant wiring and documentation.
This approval is a notable step for business aviation connectivity: it reduces friction for owners and operators looking to modernize cabin systems and stay competitive. While the STC covers installation standards and compliance, operators should still coordinate software subscriptions, antenna placement, and maintenance schedules with Gogo and Dassault service centers.
For passengers, the practical result is fewer dead zones and a more reliable connection for video conferencing, VPN access, and streaming while flying over the Atlantic or other remote regions. For charter operators and corporate flight departments, the upgrade supports higher expectations for seamless onboard connectivity.
