Gogo 2Ku Now Live on Aeromexico

Gogo, the global leader in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless entertainment to the aviation industry, announced today that its industry-leading global connectivity technology--2Ku--is now live on Aeromexico. The first aircraft to fly with 2Ku is an Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 aircraft with Sky Interior serving several destinations in the Americas. Today, the airline has five aircraft installed with the new 2Ku system.

"This is a groundbreaking milestone for Gogo as it signifies that the 2Ku era has officially taken flight," said Michael Small, Gogo's president and CEO. "Aeromexico was the first to commit to the service and we couldn't be more excited to have their passengers be the first to experience this game changing technology."

The 2Ku service will be free on Aeromexico for a limited time. In addition to 2Ku, Gogo's wireless in-flight entertainment solution, Gogo Vision, is now flying on 11 Boeing 737-700 and Embraer aircraft flying across Aeromexico's regional network.

"As Mexico's global airline, we continue to push the envelope in terms of improving the passenger experience," said Andres Conesa, Aeromexico's CEO. "This partnership will bring the best connectivity technology to our passengers so they can stay connected within Mexico and abroad."

Gogo's 2Ku technology is designed to be open so it's compatible with multiple satellite networks, which means the technology will be upgradeable over time without having to touch the aircraft. This flexibility will help ensure Aeromexico is future ready and ahead of the curve from a technology perspective.

"The great news for Aeromexico is they get a leading technology today that will only get better in the near future as newer high-throughput satellites come online," added Small.
