StandardAero will designate capacity across its entire enterprise to facilitate Gogo Classic ATG (Air-to-Ground) to AVANCE system upgrades as Gogo Business Aviation readies for its network migration.
To facilitate impending demand, StandardAero has established a slot programme in which Gogo Classic ATG customers can reserve a scheduled slot for installation at one of four U.S.-based facilities where they execute Gogo work, including Augusta, GA, Houston, TX, Springfield, IL, and Van Nuys, CA .
“As we balance the increased levels of installation interest with anticipated lack of available floor space capacity, we are committed to minimising maintenance downtime and mitigating interruptions for Gogo operators,” said, Tony Brancato, President of Business Aviation for StandardAero. “The slot programme allows customers to rest easy knowing their Gogo inflight connectivity upgrade needs will be taken care of with timely care and attention.”
More than 3,000 business aircraft are installed and flying with Gogo Classic ATG systems (ATG 8000, 5000, 4000, 2000, 1000) onboard and those aircraft are in a unique position to upgrade to Gogo AVANCE L3 or L5 before the anticipated early 2026 LTE network migration. Gogo Classic ATG operators who upgrade to the AVANCE platform will see significant improvement in connectivity performance and will be better positioned to meet the future demand of data consumption inflight.
