Multi-Year Agreement To Provide Option For Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Service

Gogo Business Aviation and Airshare announced they have entered into a multi-year agreement to give Airshare clients the option to install Gogo’s AVANCE, 5G, and Galileo suite of low-earth orbit (LEO) broadband satellite service.

Airshare and Gogo are long-time partners with two-thirds of Airshare’s Phenom 300 aircraft having been upgraded to Gogo AVANCE and the remaining planes within the next year. Airshare operates a fleet of 150 aircraft in the U.S. ranging from turboprops to ultra-long-range jets. It also has a fractional ownership program and jet cards for the Challenger 3500 and Phenom 300. Both of those aircraft are covered under Gogo’s portfolio of Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs).

John Owen, president and CEO of Airshare said, “We are focused on delivering a best-in-class experience for everyone who flies with us, whether it be for business or leisure. Secure, dependable connectivity has never been more essential for those flying private with us. We continuously explore opportunities to enhance Wi-Fi performance for both our Managed and Fractional fleets, and we’re excited to be offering these new upgrade options from Gogo. Having worked together for several years we’re extremely confident in their technology and customer support.”

Sergio Aguirre, Gogo’s president and chief operating officer said, “This partnership is a commitment by Airshare and Gogo to bring an even better experience to our mutual customers in North America and beyond with our family of connectivity services. AVANCE delivers improved performance compared to the currently installed legacy ATG systems and was designed to provide an easy upgrade path to new technologies like Gogo 5G and Gogo Galileo.”
