Leading operator of ACJ aircraft, K5-Aviation has re-selected Gogo to install a third 2Ku system on an Airbus A319 business jet.

The installation will be the first to be done on an Airbus ACJ319neo, and it is scheduled to be completed this summer.

The installation design and system integration will be managed by Fokker Techniek B.V. under its ACJ319 EASA STC, and will be completed at its facilities in Woensdrecht, The Netherlands as part of the green ACJ319neo aircraft VIP completion.

“Our passengers can stay connected virtually anywhere we fly around the globe and they are having an incredible connectivity experience thanks to Gogo’s 2Ku system,” said Luca Madone of K5-Aviation. “The capabilities of Gogo’s 2Ku system and network are unmatched anywhere else in business aviation which allows passengers to do virtually anything online while in flight that they do on the ground. Gogo’s 2Ku system seamlessly integrates with our ultra-modern Alster Aero CMS/IFE system which we have installed on our aircraft to give our passengers an online experience never before seen in aviation.”

“We’ve installed and certified the Gogo 2Ku technology successfully on two of our completed Airbus VIP aircraft and the EASA STC has greatly enhanced our business,” said Johan van Dorst, director of sales for Fokker Techniek B.V. “Having access to the internet, plus being connected and available, is critical for passengers, and the demand for bandwidth will only increase. We are proud to be able to provide our customers with an excellent connectivity experience.”
