In the world of private aviation, connectivity has long been the missing piece — a luxury that’s promised often but delivered inconsistently. Now, Vista, the global leader in private aviation, is changing that narrative with a landmark partnership with Gogo, introducing the revolutionary Gogo Galileo broadband system to its worldwide fleet. The collaboration marks a turning point for business jet travelers who expect the same seamless digital experience in the sky as they enjoy on the ground.

The rollout begins in November 2025 across Vista’s European fleet, followed by North America and Asia in early 2026. The plan is ambitious: a new aircraft equipped with the Galileo terminal every nine days, reaching at least 60 aircraft within 18 months.

A New Standard for Global Connectivity

The Gogo Galileo system isn’t just another Wi-Fi upgrade. It’s an enterprise-grade broadband platform powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, designed specifically for business aviation. This means Vista members can expect low-latency, high-speed connectivity — ideal for streaming, video conferencing, or working on sensitive cloud-based projects while flying.

Unlike traditional inflight systems that drop off below 10,000 feet or lose connection over water, Galileo maintains uninterrupted service from takeoff to touchdown, across continents and oceans. And because it operates on dedicated aviation bandwidth, Vista passengers won’t be competing for capacity with maritime or residential users — a major issue with older Ku/Ka-band systems.

For business leaders and executives used to being “always on,” this development effectively erases the last major connectivity gap in private air travel.

Built for Performance and Reliability

Technologically, Galileo represents a huge step forward. The system combines a single AVANCE unit and a compact Galileo antenna, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure. It supports real-time monitoring, over-the-air software updates, and offers a self-service performance portal for Vista’s operations teams.

Behind the scenes, Vista and Gogo have also set up an extensive global support network, ensuring that spare parts and technical assistance are available at all major maintenance hubs. That means minimal downtime and consistent service reliability — two factors that have historically been weak spots in airborne connectivity.

“Our Members Expect the Best — Now They’ll Get It in the Air Too”

Vista’s Founder and Chairman, Thomas Flohr, summed up the partnership perfectly:

“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.”

For Flohr, it’s more than a technical upgrade — it’s a statement about what modern luxury travel should mean: seamless, productive, and connected.

Gogo’s CEO Chris Moore echoed that sentiment, adding that Galileo is designed to make the inflight experience feel as effortless as being in the office or at home:

“The reliability ensures passengers enjoy an on-the-ground connectivity experience in the air — staying productive, relaxed and entertained, even in the most remote of locations.”

Global Coverage, Finally Without Compromise

By mid-2026, all 270 Vista aircraft will be equipped with either Gogo Galileo or enhanced Ku/Ka-band connectivity, ensuring a standardized, high-speed experience across the fleet.

For Vista’s global membership — which includes executives, entrepreneurs, and investors flying across continents weekly — this consistency is a game-changer. Whether flying from London to Singapore or New York to Dubai, passengers will enjoy the same level of connectivity throughout their journey.

This “one-network experience” across the world is a first for private aviation. Until now, passengers flying long-haul private jets often faced patchy connectivity when crossing regions with varying satellite coverage or regulatory restrictions.

Why This Partnership Matters Beyond Vista

While this is a milestone for Vista, it also signals a broader shift across the aviation sector. The line between private and commercial inflight connectivity is narrowing, as more airlines and jet operators invest in LEO-powered systems like OneWeb and Starlink.

For instance, Qatar Airways, JSX, and Air India have recently begun testing or rolling out Starlink Aviation, promising similar low-latency performance. Meanwhile, Satcom Direct and Honeywell Forge are pushing their own hybrid systems targeting the corporate and charter market.

But where Vista stands out is in its fleet-wide implementation plan and member-first approach. Rather than offering connectivity as an optional extra, Vista is treating it as an essential service — part of the core travel experience. That strategic decision could easily set a new industry benchmark.

The Bigger Picture: The Future of Inflight Connectivity

This move comes at a pivotal time. Demand for real-time digital access in the air is booming — not just for entertainment, but for business continuity, cloud collaboration, and even telemedicine.

According to Euroconsult, the global in-flight connectivity market is expected to double by 2032, reaching $15 billion annually, with private aviation accounting for a growing share. LEO satellite networks like OneWeb and SpaceX’s Starlink are key to unlocking that growth, offering lower latency and higher bandwidth than traditional geostationary systems.

Vista’s partnership with Gogo Galileo is therefore more than an operational enhancement — it’s a strategic positioning move. It places Vista squarely at the forefront of the next era of connected flight, one where digital performance becomes as important as cabin comfort or aircraft range.

Conclusion: Vista Sets the Bar for a Connected Sky

In an industry that thrives on exclusivity and innovation, Vista’s alliance with Gogo Galileo isn’t just a technological leap — it’s a redefinition of what premium aviation service means in 2025 and beyond.

While Starlink Aviation and other providers are racing to dominate the inflight connectivity market, Vista’s focus on fleet-wide reliability, enterprise-grade performance, and proactive service support gives it a unique edge. This partnership turns Vista’s global network into something more than a fleet — it becomes a real-time digital ecosystem at 45,000 feet.

In short, Vista isn’t just flying higher — it’s flying smarter, faster, and more connected than anyone else in the sky.
