Omni Aircraft Maintenance to Develop Gogo Galileo FDX STC for Challenger 300/350/3500

In response to strong demand for Gogo Galileo FDX, Omni Aircraft Maintenance is working to develop a supplemental type certificate (STC) for the Challenger 300, 350, and 3500 aircraft.

Gogo Galileo, the latest innovation from Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), will provide operators worldwide with global, high-speed inflight internet for every size business aircraft. It will leverage Eutelsat OneWeb’s enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite network, designed for mobility to deliver low variability and consistent performance across all routes globally.

Once certified, Challenger operators will be able to offer fast, low-latency, high-capacity connectivity that supports a residential-style broadband experience, backed by Gogo’s proven aviation-grade systems and worldwide support. This will fully enable seamless global coverage, dramatically faster speeds at up to 195 MBPS, and a connectivity experience that supports modern mission profiles, including video conferencing, cloud-based applications, and high-bandwidth passenger use.

“This is a major advancement for the Challenger platform,” says Tim Lockerby, executive vice president of Sales and Business Development at Omni Aircraft Maintenance. “The 300, 350 and 3500 are exceptional aircraft that are critical workhorses for corporate and fleet operators. Until now, high-speed global connectivity with aviation-specific hardware has been one of the few remaining limitations. Galileo FDX changes that completely.”

The STC development effort is expected to take approximately seven months, with certification targeted for completion in August 2026. Omni will perform the development, installation engineering, testing, and certification work in-house.

“This program represents exactly how we approach innovation at Omni,” Lockerby adds. “We don’t wait for capability gaps to be solved — we invest in solving them ourselves when we know it will materially improve the aircraft for operators.”

Omni Aircraft Maintenance will begin engaging with Challenger operators immediately to support early interest and to align maintenance events and installation-planning opportunities.
