Gogo Business Aviation/Satcom Direct has renewed its preferred supplier agreement with Luxaviation Group for an additional three years, building upon the partnership established between the business aviation operator and Satcom Direct in 2021. This latest agreement expands Luxaviation’s access to include Gogo Galileo phased-array antennas and its North American air-to-ground connectivity network, following the recent merger of the two connectivity providers.

Under the extended agreement, Luxaviation Group will continue to use Satcom Direct’s hardware, including the SD Plane Simple terminal series, software-as-a-service applications, flight deck connectivity solutions, and around-the-clock customer support. Luxaviation customers will also gain the ability to maximize connectivity through Gogo Galileo’s half-duplex and full-duplex phased-array terminals via a single source.

“The Gogo/SD offering brings real value to our business and, more importantly, our customers by enabling us to deliver broadband connection, regardless of aircraft size,” said Stuart Williamson, managing director of Luxaviation Technical Services. “If a problem occurs, a human expert is at hand.”

“The expanded portfolio means we can help our customers curate multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity to support all their connectivity needs,” noted Dave Falberg, senior v-p of sales for EMEA APAC at Gogo/Satcom Direct. “All the technology has been purpose-built for business aviation and is future-proofed to ensure our customers can keep pace with the rapidly changing connectivity landscape.”
