Gogo has outlined a long-term development roadmap for its Galileo satellite-connectivity system, targeting staged performance increases through 2032 for business jets and turboprops. At NBAA-BACE 2026 in Las Vegas, the company detailed upgrades intended to raise HDX speeds from 60 Mbps downlink and 10 Mbps uplink today to 300/100 Mbps in 2032, while FDX is projected to reach 1,500/350 Mbps. Three-year price guarantees are also available to operators.
Galileo uses Eutelsat’s OneWeb low-Earth-orbit network, with Hughes Network Systems supplying the electronically steered antenna terminals. HDX is designed for light-to-midsize business jets and turboprops, while FDX serves super-midsize and larger aircraft.
HDX performance is projected to rise to 100/20 Mbps in 2028 and 200/50 Mbps in 2030 before reaching the 2032 target. FDX is expected to remain at 195/32 Mbps in 2028, then increase to 600/90 Mbps in 2030 and 1,500/350 Mbps in 2032. Gogo describes these figures as targets dependent on hardware, software, satellite-network, regulatory and service-availability developments.
The upgrade strategy is intended to preserve as much installed infrastructure as possible, including antenna mounts, fairings and wiring. Gogo expects future hardware to remain form-, fit- and function-compatible with existing installations and to build on current supplemental type certificates, potentially avoiding a new STC for each upgrade.
Galileo pricing starts at $3,500 per month for 25 GB of HDX service and rises to $10,500 for unlimited HDX. Unlimited FDX service is priced at $12,500 per month, with rates guaranteed for three years. Gogo launched Galileo in 2025 and is positioning the roadmap as a way for owners and operators to plan aircraft connectivity investments without replacing the complete installed system as demand increases.
