MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 17, 2024 /CNW/ – Skyservice Business Aviation (“Skyservice” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it will develop a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to implement Gogo Galileo HDX on Gulfstream G280 aircraft, ensuring operators have access to the latest high-speed in-flight internet solutions and positioning the Company as a leader in advancing connectivity for business aviation.

“At Skyservice, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to supporting the latest advancements in business aviation,” said Benjamin Murray, President and Chief Executive Officer of Skyservice. “The demand for reliable, high-speed in-flight connectivity is higher than ever, and our development of this STC for Gogo Galileo HDX is a direct response to meeting that demand with cutting-edge solutions.”

Gogo Galileo, the latest innovation from Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO), will provide operators worldwide with global, high-speed in-flight internet and low-latency performance for every size of business aircraft from light jets and turboprops to the largest business jets. With its compact size, the HDX will leverage Eutelsat OneWeb’s enterprise-grade Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite network, designed for mobility to deliver low variability and consistent performance across all routes globally.

Skyservice’s STC for Gogo Galileo HDX will cover the Gulfstream G280, a popular super-midsize business jet, with approximately 240 aircraft currently in operation worldwide. This STC is expected to be validated by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC), and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK/CAA), which will allow operators globally to benefit from the latest high-speed in-flight connectivity.

Operators can contact Skyservice to submit a purchase order for the Galileo HDX, which is designed to be an easy upgrade to any AVANCE system (AVANCE L3, L5, LX5, SCS). Installations are planned for Q1 in 2025.

A special promotional rebate of $25,000 is also available for a limited time to current Gogo customers operating a legacy air-to-ground system (ATG 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000) when installing AVANCE SCS and HDX.

Skyservice experts will be onsite at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas at booth 2651 from October 22-24, to share more about Gogo Galileo. Gogo will also offer in-person demos of the Galileo service, available at the static display at AD_325.

Published

on

By

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 17, 2024 /CNW/ – The Government of Canada is committed to maximizing energy performance and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while helping industry gain a competitive edge.  

Today, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson announced a federal investment of $40 million from the Green Industrial Facilities and Manufacturing Program (GIFMP) to Emissions Reduction Alberta. This funding will help to develop and manage a province-wide program for industry to become more cost- and energy-efficient.

Funding will support Emissions Reduction Alberta’s $50-Million Strategic Energy Management for Industry (SEMI) program, which will provide industrial and manufacturing facilities with expertise and training in energy management.  Industrial participants will be given the opportunity to increase profitability by reducing energy costs and to take advantage of funding to help cover the cost of capital retrofits for industrial process equipment. An additional $10 million was invested by the Government of Alberta for Emissions Reduction Alberta’s Strategic Energy Management for Industry program.   

As Canada advances toward a net-zero future, investments like these are key to minimizing emissions while maximizing industry competitiveness. Today’s investment supports workers and industry in Alberta on the road toward a prosperous and clean future.

Quotes

“Energy efficiency means cost savings for Canadian business. Supporting Canadian industrial facilities with their efficiency targets is a necessary step toward improving competitiveness in the global economy. We are pleased to play a part in launching Emissions Reduction Alberta’s innovative Strategic Energy Management for Industry (SEMI) program, which helps strengthen the knowledge and expertise that Alberta industries need to keep energy-efficient and competitive. Through investments like the $40 million we are providing for SEMI, the federal government is helping provinces, territories and industry in their goal to seize the financial opportunities of a clean economy.”

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

“Improving the efficiency of industrial and manufacturing processes and facilities is the quickest, most cost-effective way to lower energy bills and stay competitive. But it takes knowledge, expertise, training and capital. With SEMI, Alberta companies now have even more opportunity to invest in energy- and cost-saving technologies, right here in the province.” 

Justin Riemer
CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta  

“ERA’s SEMI program represents a pivotal opportunity for industry to further our collective mission of enhancing environmental performance and operational efficiency. By providing the necessary financial support, this program will enable companies to invest in advanced technologies and practices that significantly reduce emissions and improve efficiency and energy management solutions to contribute to a more sustainable future.” 

Grant Wilde
Board Chair, Spartan Controls and BlueMarvelValidator  

“Reducing greenhouse emissions through energy efficiency is a powerful way industries can make a mark on reducing their carbon footprint while reducing energy costs. The SEMI program is an ideal opportunity for industries seeking to decarbonize through energy management and retrofits. At Lafarge, we have benefited from long standing support from ERA, and we are excited to see new opportunities put forward in energy management and conservation.” 

Stephanie Voysey
Head of Sustainability and Environment, Lafarge, Western Canada 

Quick Facts

Canada’s industrial sectors represented about 3,650 petajoules (PJ), or more than 40 percent, of Canada’s total energy use in 2021.
