TransMedics selects Gogo Galileo HDX for nationwide organ transport fleet

Reliable, high-performance connectivity will support time-critical transport and monitoring of donor organs for transplants aboard 22 Embraer Phenom 300E aircraft

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) today announced that TransMedics, the global leader in organ transplantation technology, services and logistics, has selected Gogo Galileo to equip its growing fleet of 22 Embraer Phenom 300E aircraft operating across the United States.

The aircraft play a critical role in transporting donor organs for transplantation. During each mission, organs are continuously monitored in flight using TransMedics' Organ Care System (OCS), making reliable, high-performance and high-speed inflight connectivity an essential part of the company's operations. The Gogo Galileo HDX is now being installed on all TransMedics’ aircraft and the full fleet is expected to be equipped by 2027.

"Every flight we operate carries the potential to save a life, which makes continuous, real-time visibility into each organ’s status during transport mission-critical," says Andre Costa, VP of Global Logistics at TransMedics. "We are proud to pioneer this initiative. By mid-2027, Gogo Galileo will be operating across our entire fleet, making TransMedics the first and only organ transplant company to achieve this milestone, and we plan to extend this capability to our European fleet in 2028. We selected Gogo Galileo not only for the reliable, high-performance connectivity these critical missions demand, but also for the cybersecurity, system redundancy, and active monitoring that Gogo delivers to its customers."

Powered by Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade low Earth orbit (LEO) network, Gogo Galileo delivers global, high-speed, low-latency connectivity for business aviation. The Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna (ESA) provides a compact, lightweight and low-power solution capable of supporting multiple simultaneous applications, including cloud-based monitoring, video communications and operational data exchange.

"Business aviation supports far more than executive travel: it enables critical missions that communities rely on every day," says Chris Moore, Chief Executive Officer for Gogo. "TransMedics is a powerful example of that. When you're transporting donor organs, connectivity isn't a convenience; it's part of the mission. We're proud that Gogo Galileo will help provide the resilient, high-performance connectivity their flight crews and medical teams depend on to support lifesaving work while giving them peace of mind that their data is secure."

As the TransMedics fleet enters service with Gogo Galileo HDX, the operator will also benefit from Gogo's comprehensive suite of value-added services, including advanced cybersecurity protections, 24/7/365 multilingual customer support and future-ready technology designed to evolve alongside operational requirements.
