Gogo receives first Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for next generation satellite internet service

Gogo, a leading global aero communications service provider, has received first of two STCs from the FAA that will be required for Gogo’s 2Ku next generation satellite connectivity service. The initial certification will allow Gogo to conduct flight tests on its own 737-500 flying lab. Gogo will begin testing with one antenna and expects to add a second antenna in June. Gogo expects to obtain the second required STC, and launch commercial service of its 2Ku technology, later this year.
