Gogo Vision Also Now Live On Select Aeromexico Boeing And Embraer aircraft

Gogo has announced that its global connectivity technology – 2Ku – is now live on Aeromexico. The first aircraft to fly with 2Ku is an Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 aircraft serving several destinations in the Americas. The airline has installed the new 2Ku system on five aircraft.

"This is a groundbreaking milestone for Gogo as it signifies that the 2Ku era has officially taken flight," said Michael Small, Gogo's president and CEO. "Aeromexico was the first to commit to the service and we couldn't be more excited to have their passengers be the first to experience this game changing technology."

The 2Ku service will be free on Aeromexico for a limited time. In addition to 2Ku, Gogo's wireless in-flight entertainment solution, Gogo Vision, is now flying on 11 Boeing 737-700 and Embraer aircraft flying across Aeromexico's regional network.

"As Mexico's global airline, we continue to push the envelope in terms of improving the passenger experience," said Andres Conesa, Aeromexico's CEO. "This partnership will bring the best connectivity technology to our passengers so they can stay connected within Mexico and abroad."

Gogo's 2Ku technology is designed to be open so it's compatible with multiple satellite networks, which means the technology will be upgradeable over time without having to touch the aircraft. This flexibility will help ensure Aeromexico is future ready and ahead of the curve from a technology perspective.

"The great news for Aeromexico is they get a leading technology today that will only get better in the near future as newer high-throughput satellites come online," Small said.
