"Patrick is the perfect fit to lead these efforts."

Gogo currently provides in-flight connectivity services to Japan Airlines and Japan Transocean Air. Earlier this year, Gogo made an announcement securing regulatory approval to provide service on aircraft flying in Chinese air space and began service in China working with China Telecom Satellite.
