SmartSky Networks, a developer of air-to-ground broadband connectivity and communication systems for business and commercial aviation has announced that the company’s SmartSky’s air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity service offering will now be available for the Cessna Citation X series aircraft. The move followed the recent issuance of a supplemental-type certificate (STC) for the aircraft. The decision also highlights SmartSky’s plans to make its ATG connectivity available for over 7,000 business jets and turboprop aircraft across 14 aircraft models manufactured by Textron Aviation.

The supplemental type certificate (STC) for Citation X was recently completed in Kinston, North Carolina, U.S. by flyExclusive, a large operator of Textron Aviation aircraft, and the engineering team at Liberty Partners. This Textron Aviation-owned STC enables the excess of 300 Cessna Citation X series aircraft to take advantage of SmartSky’s nationwide ATG network.
