Gogo expands multi-orbit connectivity portfolio with new STCs

BROOMFIELD, CO - Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOGO), the in-flight connectivity provider with a market capitalization of $1.19 billion, announced Monday it has secured new supplemental type certificates (STCs) for its Galileo FDX antenna system, expanding installation options across multiple aircraft types. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock, currently trading at $8.89, appears undervalued despite showing strong revenue growth of 73% in the last twelve months.

The company reported that ALOFT AeroArchitects received Federal Aviation Administration approval for Boeing BBJ737NG aircraft, with the first FDX antenna already operational on an executive airliner. StandardAero simultaneously completed STCs for both HDX and FDX systems on Bombardier Challenger 600 series aircraft. With a healthy current ratio of 1.71, Gogo maintains strong operational flexibility to support its expansion initiatives.

Gogo stated that eight additional Galileo FDX STC agreements are in process, covering 24 aircraft types. These certifications potentially enable over 9,000 jets in the global fleet to access high-speed broadband connectivity.

For the smaller Galileo HDX terminal, Gogo reported 19 completed STCs covering 24 aircraft types, with 21 more in development. The company has shipped more than 150 HDX antennas, up from 77 at the end of the second quarter of 2025.

The electronically steered antennas connect to the Eutelsat OneWeb low earth orbit constellation, providing connectivity for applications including video conferencing and streaming.

Gogo also reported progress on its 5G air-to-ground service, with testing expected to transition from terrestrial validation to on-wing trials in the coming weeks. The company has pre-provisioned more than 400 aircraft with the MB13 Antenna and AVANCE LX5 platform.

For aircraft equipped with legacy ATG systems, Gogo has designed the form-fit C1 unit as a replacement option ahead of the network cutover scheduled for May 2026.

"We have worked extremely hard since the merger of Satcom Direct with Gogo to evolve an expanded, streamlined multi-orbit, multi-band connectivity ecosystem," said Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo, in a press release statement.

Gogo will showcase its connectivity solutions at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) 2025 event at booth 1533.

In other recent news, Gogo Inc. announced that the Federal Aviation Administration has issued the first Supplemental Type Certificate for its Galileo FDX terminal, specifically for Boeing Business Jets. This certification has already facilitated an installation on a Boeing BBJ 737-700IGW aircraft, which previously lacked connectivity. Additionally, Gogo’s Plane Simple Ka-band tail mount antenna system received European Union Aviation Safety Agency certification for Dassault Falcon 7X and 8X aircraft, further enhancing connectivity options for these models. Meanwhile, Gogo has entered the final testing phase for its next-generation 5G in-flight connectivity technology, reporting peak speeds of up to 80 Mbps. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency also approved a Supplemental Type Certificate for Gogo’s Galileo HDX Antenna, applicable to Bombardier Global series aircraft. Furthermore, Gogo’s Galileo HDX terminal received FAA certification for the Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft family, covering multiple variants used in various operations. These developments highlight Gogo’s ongoing efforts to expand and enhance its connectivity solutions across different aircraft models.
