Virgin Australia selects Gogo for in-flight connectivity

Gogo (GOGO), a provider of broadband connectivity products and services for aviation, has been selected by Virgin Australia to bring inflight connectivity to its domestic and international services. From April 2017, Virgin Australia will begin customer testing of the service using Gogo’s 2Ku technology on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. A full installation of 2Ku across Virgin Australia’s fleet of Boeing 737-800, Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft is planned following the customer testing period. The technology will leverage Ku satellites provided by Optus Satellite for domestic and New Zealand services and Intelsat and SES for other international flights.
