Customers taking delivery of the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen3 business jet can now opt to have the Gogo Galileo HDX connectivity solution installed, providing an advanced global in-flight connection. The CJ4 Gen3, announced in October 2024, is scheduled to enter service in 2026.
Designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, the Citation CJ4 Gen3 now offers passengers the benefits of Gogo’s proven AVANCE platform combined with the Gogo Galileo HDX system. Featuring a fuselage-mounted HDX antenna and a global low-Earth orbit (LEO) solution, the system ensures a low-latency, high-speed connection, allowing passengers to remain online and productive throughout the flight – regardless of their location.
“Cessna Citation business jets are known for their luxury and productivity,” said Lannie O’Bannion, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “Whether for work or entertainment, this robust solution ensures customers’ in-flight experience is as connected as their life on the ground.”
Gogo connectivity systems have been installed on Citation aircraft for more than two decades. The Gogo Galileo HDX option was also announced in October 2024 for new Citation Longitude, Citation Latitude, and Citation Ascend jets.
