Vista reveals plans to install Gogo Galileo across entire fleet

Vista has partnered with Gogo to bring the new Gogo Galileo broadband connectivity system to its global fleet.

The rollout will begin in November across Vista’s European fleet, followed by the US and Asia from January 2026. This will see one aircraft upgraded with the Gogo Galileo terminal every nine days, reaching at least 60 aircraft within the first 18 months.

Thomas Flohr, Vista chairman and founder, said: “Our members expect a global standard of ultimate excellence — in service, safety and now, connectivity. With Gogo Galileo, we are delivering the most advanced Wi-Fi experience available in business aviation, anywhere in the world. This partnership is another step in our ongoing investment to make every flight as seamless, productive and enjoyable as possible.”

The new purpose built for business aviation system delivers enterprise-grade broadband powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation. 

Unlike traditional solutions that disconnect below 10,000ft or over water, the Gogo Galileo terminals uses dedicated business aviation bandwidth ensuring consistent service worldwide, without competing with residential bandwidth, or other industry sectors.

The system combines a single AVANCE unit and Galileo antenna. It enables real-time monitoring, over-the-air updates and a self-service portal providing performance data for operations teams.

Vista and Gogo have already secured spare parts at all major Vista maintenance centres, to minimise potential downtime.

Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo, 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 reliability will ensure passengers enjoy an on-the-ground connectivity experience in the air to stay productive, relaxed and entertained, even in the most remote of locations and is backed by multi-lingual 24/7/365 support to ensure always-on connectivity.”

By mid-2026, all 270 Vista aircraft will feature either Gogo Galileo or upgraded Ku/ Ka-band connectivity, said the company.
