Gogo Marks 5th Anniversary Of Commercial Aviation Connectivity Service

Surpasses 40 Million Connectivity Sessions Since Launch

Gogo celebrated the fifth anniversary of its first Internet enabled commercial flight last month.

Five years ago, Gogo introduced an Air-To-Ground, cellular based network that enabled passengers to connect to the Internet above 30,000 feet and traveling at speeds in excess of 500 miles-per-hour.  Today, the company says more than a million passengers a month use the service to stay connected in-flight. Gogo's connectivity service can now be found on nearly 2,000 commercial aircraft over nine major airline partners.  More than 7,000 commercial flights each day are connected using Gogo's service.

"When Gogo launched its service five years ago, it was our cutting edge air to ground technology that allowed us to not only bring the Internet to the sky, it offered a scalable technology solution that was economically viable for the aviation industry and effectively opened the door for in-air connectivity to reach the traveling public," said Gogo president and CEO, Michael Small. "Today, we continue to push the envelope in developing new technologies that leverage both our air to ground based service and satellite services to lead the way at bringing more bandwidth for the buck for the commercial aviation industry."

In addition to connectivity related services, Gogo also launched its Gogo Vision product, which allows passengers to rent from a library of more than 100 movies and television shows and stream them to their own Wi-Fi enabled device.

"Gogo will continue to work with its airline partners to create products and services that will keep passengers connected, informed and entertained while in-flight," added Small.
