Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

As a newly authorized Gogo Business Aviation dealer, Global Aviation Tech can install Gogo Avance air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity systems and the upcoming Galileo low-earth-orbit satcom system in customer airplanes.
Global Aviation Tech has MRO facilities in Wichita and Elmira, New York, and focuses on special missions modifications and business aircraft MRO services, including avionics upgrades and engineering support. At its Elmira Corning Airport (KELM) facility, Global Aviation Tech is adding a 30,000-sq-ft hangar and office space and a 10,000-sq-ft battery shop.&nbsp;
Gogo Galileo, which runs on the Eutelsat OneWeb network, should launch later this year, with up to 60 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload available with installation of Gogo’s HDX antenna. The larger FDX will be available in the first half of 2025, and service speed will be up to 195 Mbps download and 32 Mbps upload.
For aircraft that don’t need worldwide connectivity, Gogo’s Avance systems offer ATG service in the U.S. and much of Canada. Customers that select Gogo’s Avance L5 ATG system with two MB13 phased-array antennas will be able to swap the L5 for Gogo 5G equipment, which will deliver higher-speed service when the 5G service goes live in the second quarter of 2025.
“Gogo has set the standard in our industry regarding innovation and providing cost-effective connectivity solutions for clients worldwide,” said Global Aviation Tech president Jerome Cottner.
