Customers On Flights From Los Angeles And Atlanta To Tokyo Are The First To Enjoy Global Connectivity

The first aircraft of Delta's long-haul international fleet has gone live with Gogo's connectivity service, the company announced Tuesday. Passengers flying on Delta's 747-400 aircraft flying from Los Angeles to Tokyo and from Atlanta to Tokyo were the first to experience the service.

The aircraft is also the first aircraft flying with Gogo's Ku-band satellite service, which will be deployed on across Delta's international fleet.

"Gogo has built and operationalized a network that has the ability to provide connectivity related services to Delta's entire fleet of domestic and international aircraft from regional jets to 777s – almost anywhere they fly around the globe," said Gogo's president and CEO, Michael Small. "Delta will soon have more than 1,000 planes including all two-class regional, domestic and international aircraft flying with Gogo's connectivity services."

Gogo is scheduled to complete the installation of Wi-Fi service on Delta's entire international fleet, including its Boeing 777, 767, 747, Airbus 330 and transoceanic Boeing 757 aircraft operating on international, long-haul routes, by the end of 2015.
