Textron Aviation announced its selection of Gogo Business Aviation’s global Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) solution, Gogo Galileo HDX, for factory installation on the Cessna Citation Longitude, Latitude and Ascend. This makes Textron Aviation the first business aviation Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to offer Gogo Galileo HDX as an option on new customer aircraft.

The Cessna Citation Longitude, Latitude and Ascend are designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company.

By integrating Gogo Galileo HDX, Textron Aviation ensures customers benefit from a global connectivity solution that delivers exceptional performance. The system is built on Gogo’s proven AVANCE platform and features a fuselage-mounted HDX antenna, designed specifically for business jets. This configuration makes Gogo Galileo more affordable and easier to install and operate than other satellite systems currently available.

“At Textron Aviation, we are committed to enhancing the flight experience for our customers,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales & Flight Operations for Textron Aviation. “By offering Gogo Galileo HDX, we ensure that passengers on these Citation business jets enjoy a seamless and superior inflight Wi-Fi experience, no matter where their journey takes them.”

Gogo Galileo HDX is expected to be available on the Citation Longitude beginning early 2026. Timing on the other aircraft will be announced at a later date.
