Nov. 16, 2017

Gogo has been selected by the Cathay Pacific Group to install Gogo's 2Ku inflight connectivity solution on its wide-body fleet.

The carrier will install 2Ku on its Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft across Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon fleets, which are both part of the Cathay Pacific Group.

2Ku is the industry's leading inflight connectivity solution and delivers an internet experience comparable to what passengers have on the ground.

"We are excited to partner with Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon to bring their guests a new onboard connectivity experience with 2Ku," said Michael Small, Gogo's president and CEO. "As a premier global airline group, and Hong Kong's flagship carrier, Cathay passengers expect a premium experience, which 2Ku is delivering today with superior bandwidth, coverage and availability."

With more than 2,000 aircraft awards, 2Ku is the most rapidly adopted satellite-based broadband connectivity technology in aviation. The technology has been adopted by leading airlines in North America, South America, Europe and now Asia. 

"Our goal is to allow our customers to be connected anytime and anywhere – and this agreement with Gogo is a huge step in enabling us to deliver this," said Paul Loo, Cathay Pacific Chief Customer and Commercial Officer."

2Ku will give Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon's guests a seamless experience across their existing fleet of wide-body aircraft.  The service is expected to go live by mid-2018.
