Gogo Receives Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA and Certification from the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for Ku-Satellite Connectivity Service on Boeing 777-300 Aircraft

May 8, 2014

Gogo has received an STC from the FAA and certification from the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) - the aviation authority in Japan - to install its Ku-satellite based connectivity service on Japan Airlines' 777-300 aircraft.  The 777-300 is the second aircraft type in JAL's fleet to receive FAA and JCAB approval for installation.

Gogo has partnered with JAL to install connectivity service and Gogo Vision - Gogo's wireless in-flight entertainment service – on JAL's domestic fleet, and the certification is a key milestone in the installation process.

"This is another major milestone for Gogo and a big step forward as we continue our progress on the launch of connectivity services for JAL," said Michael Small, Gogo's president and CEO. "Navigating the FAA and international regulatory bodies to get various connectivity technologies in the market is no small feat.  Gogo is the clear leader when it comes to navigating these regulatory hurdles for the installation of broadband connectivity services and has guided numerous aircraft types and technologies - in both commercial and business aviation - through the Supplemental Type Certificate process."
