Gogo Commercial Aviation is Now
Intelsat
July 13, 2021
Intelsat announced that Gogo
Commercial Aviation, a business it acquired in December
2020, is dropping the Gogo name and is now called
Intelsat.
With its acquisition of Gogo’s
Commercial Aviation division, Intelsat became the
world’s leading provider of inflight broadband
connectivity to the commercial aviation industry. The
vertical integration is uniquely positioning Intelsat to
deliver a reliable, high-performance inflight
entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) experience for
commercial airlines and their passengers.
“Intelsat’s unparalleled global
reach, depth of capacity and vertical integration
provides commercial airlines with unmatched optionality
and flexibility, delivering the frictionless IFEC
experience essential to commercial airlines,” said
Intelsat Chief Executive Officer Stephen Spengler. “With
Intelsat’s powerful, integrated offering, airlines no
longer need to trade speed, reliability or availability
for coverage — even when flying at full capacity in and
out of the busiest airports.”
“Our company is known for its
flexibility and commitment to exceptional customer
service, and we’re always innovating new models aimed at
helping airlines identify the right distribution
strategy to meet their unique needs,” said John Wade,
president of Intelsat’s commercial aviation business
division. “We do more than talk a good game; Intelsat’s
superior customer experience is backed by meaningful and
easy-to-understand SLAs that commercial airlines can
trust to meet their passenger experience needs today,
tomorrow and for decades to come,“ said Wade.
“This name change is happening
while Intelsat is leveraging its unparalleled global
orbital and spectrum rights, scale and partnerships to
build the world’s first global 5G satellite-based
software-defined network of networks,” added Spengler.
“The Intelsat network will be capable of supporting
virtually any access technology, enabling the next
generation of global mobility, IoT and 5G services with
never-before-seen combined simplicity, coverage,
economics and performance.”
