PlaneSense to Equip All 71 Pilatus Aircraft With Gogo Satellite Wi-Fi

· Aviation · United States

PlaneSense plans to add Gogo Galileo satellite Wi-Fi to all 71 of its Pilatus airplanes, with installs to be completed by the end of a stated period. The program covers the operator's entire Pilatus fleet, bringing satellite-based connectivity to aircraft that serve its fractional-ownership and charter customers. The report did not specify the installation timeline beyond the completion target or the value of the agreement.

Why it matters:Satellite connectivity is spreading from airliners to business aviation, and fleet-wide retrofit deals show in-flight Wi-Fi is becoming a baseline expectation for charter and fractional operators.

Key points

  • All 71 Pilatus aircraft are covered.
  • The system is Gogo Galileo satellite Wi-Fi.
  • Installs are to be completed by the end of the stated period.
