Production More Than Doubled to Meet Sales
Projections
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ:
GOGO) is seeing unprecedented demand for Gogo Galileo HDX, the
new global broadband Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite service.
"The response from the industry for Gogo Galileo HDX is at a
fever pitch – there's been a tidal wave of demand as we rapidly
approach commercial launch," said Sergio
Aguirre, president and chief operating officer for Gogo.
"It's clear the market is hungry for true aviation-grade LEO
satellite broadband connectivity for aircraft of any size around
the globe."
The demand for Gogo Galileo HDX is greater than it was for Gogo
AVANCE L5, which launched in 2017 and quickly became the most
widely adopted and fastest-selling inflight connectivity system in
business aviation history.
Demand has accelerated due to growing accessibility of HDX as
Gogo's dealer network has contracted to complete 27 Supplemental
Type Certificates (STCs), unlocking a total addressable market of
more than 18,000 aircraft globally, many of which have not had
access to broadband inflight connectivity prior to Gogo Galileo.
Additional STC contracts are expected in the coming weeks.
Gogo has been conducting flight tests of the Gogo Galileo HDX
system on a Challenger 300 and it is performing as planned.
Gogo continues to accept purchase orders for the HDX, which is
designed to be an easy upgrade to any AVANCE system (AVANCE L3, L5,
LX5, SCS).
The highly anticipated service, scheduled to launch later this
year, is backed by Eutelsat OneWeb's enterprise-grade LEO network.
Designed for mobility, the network will deliver consistent
performance with low variability across all routes globally.
A special promotional rebate of $25,000 is also available for a limited time to
current Gogo customers operating a legacy air-to-ground system (ATG
1000, 2000, 4000, 5000) when installing AVANCE SCS and HDX.
