Gogo partners with Airbus Corporate Jet Centre

Gogo, a global expert in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless entertainment to the aviation industry, has partnered with Airbus subsidiary’s Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) to install, on retrofit basis, its in-flight connectivity technology – 2Ku – on new Airbus A350 aircraft. Until now, only first-generation gimbaled antennas have been available for the A350. Under this new agreement, airlines may elect to add Gogo’s 2Ku system to the A350 on a retrofit basis with a factory authorized installation from ACJC. Delta Air Lines will be the first customer for such installation and expects delivery of its first 2Ku-equipped A350 in 2017. Additionally, Delta will be the first U.S. airline to launch domestic 2Ku service as its first narrow-body aircraft takes flight later this month.
