London-based Vista has announced a partnership with Gogo to install Gogo Galileo broadband connectivity systems across its global aircraft fleet.
Installation will begin in November across Vista’s European fleet, followed by implementation in the United States and Asia from January 2026. According to Vista, one aircraft will receive the Gogo Galileo HDX terminal upgrade every nine days, reaching at least 60 aircraft within 18 months.
The system uses the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth orbit satellite constellation to provide broadband connectivity. The Gogo Galileo HDX terminal delivers connectivity during all flight phases, including below 10,000ft (3km) and over water, using dedicated business aviation bandwidth.
Thomas Flohr, chairman and founder of Vista, said the system provides connectivity standards for members. “Our Members expect a global standard of ultimate excellence — in service, safety and now, connectivity,” Flohr said. “With Gogo Galileo, we are delivering the most advanced Wi-Fi experience available in business aviation, anywhere in the world.”
Chris Moore, chief executive officer of Gogo, said the system addresses Vista’s operational requirements as a membership-based operator. “We are extremely pleased to bring the benefits of the Gogo Galileo HDX terminal to so many Vista aircraft,” Moore said. “As the world’s largest membership-based operator, providing on-demand charter to a diverse range of global destinations, we know that its members will appreciate the consistent, low-latency connectivity on whichever route they fly.”
The system combines a single AVANCE unit and Galileo antenna for installation. According to Gogo, the terminal enables real-time monitoring, over-the-air updates and a self-service portal for operations teams. Vista and Gogo have secured spare parts at Vista maintenance centers globally.
By mid-2026, all 270 Vista aircraft will feature either Gogo Galileo or upgraded Ku/Ka-band connectivity systems. The installation program represents fleet-wide connectivity standardization across Vista’s global operations.
Vista operates through subsidiaries including VistaJet and XO, providing flight services, subscription and membership solutions, and aircraft management services. The company is headquartered in Dubai with more than 4,000 personnel globally.
The Gogo Galileo HDX terminal uses an electronically steered antenna connecting with the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation. The retrofit installation requires two line-replaceable units, the HDX antenna and AVANCE platform. Gogo provides multi-lingual 24/7 support and training courses for passengers, cabin crew, flight deck and flight departments.
