Gogo Receives
Supplemental Type Certificates (STC)
from the FAA to Install Ku-Satellite
Connectivity Service on Boeing
757-200 and 767-400 Aircraft
Nov. 7, 2014
Gogo
has received STCs from the FAA to
install its Ku-band satellite
equipment on Boeing 757-200 and
767-400 aircraft operated by Delta
Air Lines. Gogo now has five
STCs for its Ku-band satellite
service on Delta's international
fleet; Gogo previously received FAA
certification to install its Ku-band
equipment on Boeing 747-400, 767-300
and Airbus A330 aircraft operated by
Delta.
With the
newly-issued STCs, Gogo is one STC
away from having regulatory approval
to install its
Ku
service on Delta's entire
international fleet. Gogo
expects to complete installations on
Delta's international fleet in 2016.
Gogo's Ku-band satellite
connectivity service is currently
available on 50 international
aircraft operated by two airlines.
"This is
another major milestone for Gogo and
clears another hurdle in the process
of outfitting Delta's international
fleet with Wi-Fi," said
Michael Small,
Gogo's president and CEO. "As a
full-service communications company
that operates a global network at
30,000 feet, we are proud to offer a
consistent connectivity experience
anywhere our airline partners fly;
whether it's on regional aircraft in
the U.S., domestic mainline aircraft
or long-haul international aircraft
that travel around the world."
