Partners
with
China
Telecom
Satellite
Aug. 15,
2016
Gogo has
received
regulatory
approval
from the
various
Chinese
regulatory
bodies
through
its
local
partner
China
Telecom
Satellite,
and will
work
with
China
Telecom
Satellite
to offer
in-flight
connectivity
service
on
International
flights
operating
in and
out of
China
starting
in
October.
"This is
really a
ground-breaking
moment
as we
expand
our
global
reach as
an
organization
into
China
and
other
parts of
the
world. For
passengers
on Gogo
equipped
flights
currently
flying
into
China,
this
means
they
will be
able to
enjoy
seamless
service
once
they
reach
Chinese
air
space,"
said
Gogo's
president
and CEO,
Michael
Small.
"We
believe
China
Telecom
Satellite
will be
a very
strong
and
effective
partner
for
China's
in-flight
communication
market
and both
parties
will
extend
the
cooperation
to
Chinese
airlines
in the
future."
"Gogo is a world-leading
in-flight connectivity
service provider and we
look forward to a
partnership that takes
full advantage of our
respective abilities to
deliver superior
in-flight connectivity
service for both
International and
Chinese airlines," said
Lv Junli, president of
China Telecom Satellite.
Gogo currently has one
International airline
partner operating with
service to
China, and
recently announced it
has signed a term sheet
with
Beijing
based Shareco
Technologies to install
its 2Ku in-flight
connectivity technology
on 50 commercial
aircraft for Shareco's
airline partners,
including Hainan
Airlines and Beijing
Capital Airlines. In
addition to in-flight
connectivity, Gogo will
also provide its
wireless in-flight
entertainment solution –
Gogo Vision – for
Shareco to install on
these aircraft.
