“Cessna Citation business jets are known for their luxury and productivity,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing. “Whether for work or entertainment, this robust solution ensures customers’ in-flight experience is as connected as their life on the ground.”
Gogo connectivity solutions have been installed on Cessna Citations for more than 20 years. Building on Gogo’s proven AVANCE platform, Gogo Galileo HDX enhances the inflight cabin experience by providing a global low-earth orbit (LEO) solution with a fuselage-mounted HDX antenna. This low latency solution ensures a seamless, high-speed connection which allows passengers to be online and productive throughout their flight, regardless of their location.
The connectivity solution was announced in October 2024 as an option for customers who will be taking delivery of a new Cessna Citation Longitude, Citation Latitude or Citation Ascend.
