Dassault Falcon and Gogo have secured Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) approval to retrofit the Falcon 2000 aircraft family with the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna, unlocking high-speed inflight connectivity of up to 60 Mbps.
The STC, developed in partnership between Dassault Falcon Jet Service Centers and Gogo, allows Falcon 2000 operators to install the HDX terminal through Dassault’s Authorized Service Center (ASC) network. The retrofit requires just two line-replaceable units, the HDX antenna and the AVANCE platform, creating a streamlined installation and future upgrade path.
This marks the first HDX STC for a Dassault Falcon business jet, covering the Falcon 2000EX, EX, EASy, DX, LX, LXS, and S variants. Powered by Eutelsat OneWeb’s low-earth orbit (LEO) constellation, the system enables passengers to stream, video conference, email, and browse across multiple devices throughout all phases of flight.

Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo, said: “A popular choice in the super mid-size market, the Falcon 2000 is exactly the type of aircraft we developed Gogo Galileo HDX to serve. Installation of the HDX terminal helps retain asset value, enhances the passenger inflight experience, and supports more efficient operations.”
Dassault and Gogo also expect to secure STC approval for the Falcon 7X before year-end, further extending the reach of the Galileo HDX platform across the Falcon fleet.
The approval signals a significant milestone in bringing enterprise-grade LEO connectivity to Dassault business jets, backed by Gogo’s 24/7 global customer support
