Gogo Business Aviation has confirmed that its AVANCE systems, AVANCE L5 and AVANCE L3, have flown in excess of 175,000 flights totalling more than 108 million miles.
Gogo currently has more than 1,000 AVANCE systems including nearly 750 AVANCE installed and flying across a wide array of business aircraft, from single-engine turboprops to the heaviest-iron global business jets.
“When we launched the AVANCE L5 [in late-2017], we knew it would delight our customers, but it’s surpassed all our expectations,” said Sergio Aguirre, president of Gogo Business Aviation. “We then launched AVANCE L3 [2018] and that system has delivered connectivity to smaller aircraft bringing a customizable connectivity experience to meet the needs of passengers on light jets and turboprops. The great news is that demand from the marketplace continues to be strong for both systems.”
“With AVANCE, any changes we need to make are all done remotely – something that’s never been possible for inflight connectivity systems before now,” Aguirre continued. “It’s a significant advancement, and there are no limits on the features that can be added as connectivity technology continues to evolve, since the platform is scalable. In short, AVANCE is the ‘brains on board’ for all of Gogo’s new AVANCE systems.”
In total, at the end of the second quarter, Gogo Business Aviation reported 5,462 aircraft flying with its air-to-ground (ATG) systems onboard and another 5,099 utilising satellite connectivity.
