Welcome to our dedicated page for Gogo news (Ticker: GOGO), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Gogo stock.
Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO) is the world's largest provider of broadband connectivity services for the business aviation market. Headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, Gogo offers a robust suite of smart cabin systems that integrate connectivity, in-flight entertainment, and voice solutions. These services are installed on thousands of business aircraft, ranging from turboprops to the largest global jets.
Gogo's business model primarily operates through two revenue streams: service revenue and equipment revenue. Service revenue comprises monthly subscription and usage fees paid by aircraft owners and operators for telecommunication, data, and in-flight entertainment services. On the other hand, equipment revenue stems from the sale of Air-to-Ground (ATG) and narrowband satellite connectivity equipment, recognized when control of the equipment is transferred to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and dealers.
Gogo has recently made significant strides in its 5G program. The AVANCE LX5 has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This approval paves the way for customer installations of the LX5, which is expected to deliver approximately 25 Mbps on average, with peak speeds reaching 75-80 Mbps. Moreover, Gogo's collaboration with NetJets will enable the upgrade of their U.S. and European fleets to Gogo's AVANCE L5, Gogo 5G, and Galileo, the company's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband satellite service.
In the legal domain, Gogo recently secured a favorable ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which upheld a previous judgment denying SmartSky Networks' motion for a preliminary injunction against Gogo's 5G product. This enables Gogo to continue its operations without disruption.
Financially, Gogo has demonstrated consistent growth. As of March 31, 2024, Gogo reported 7,136 business aircraft flying with its broadband ATG systems onboard, 4,110 of which are equipped with a Gogo AVANCE L5 or L3 system, and 4,285 aircraft with narrowband satellite connectivity installed. The company’s strategic investments are expected to yield substantial free cash flow in the coming years, especially with the forthcoming launches of Gogo 5G and Galileo.
Gogo's commitment to innovation is further evidenced by its state-of-the-art virtual flight simulator, which accelerates the development of its 5G software. Additionally, Gogo Galileo has achieved end-to-end connectivity using the HDX antenna on the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite network, positioning it for a commercial launch later this year.
Gogo's extensive network of authorized dealers, partnerships with leading OEMs, and robust technological advancements ensure that it remains at the forefront of the business aviation connectivity market. Whether it's through providing reliable Wi-Fi for business travelers or enhancing in-flight entertainment options, Gogo continues to deliver exceptional value to its customers and stakeholders.
Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) has achieved over 1,000 successful AVANCE system updates through its over-the-air (OTA) feature, significantly cutting software upgrade time by 83%. This remote, hands-free process replaces the older USB kit method, facilitating simultaneous updates for all aircraft in a fleet. The AVANCE platform is designed to allow seamless upgrades to new technologies like Gogo Galileo and Gogo 5G. OTA, introduced with AVANCE software update v4.4, is now the fastest-adopted update in Gogo's history. Accessible through the Gogo DASH app and a Gogo Cloudport, the system enhances operational efficiency for Gogo’s global customer base.

This move aims to enhance inflight connectivity and experience for both flight crew and passengers. Aircraft owners who upgrade from legacy systems to AVANCE can benefit from improved connectivity and rebates ranging from $25,000 to $50,000. Skyservice, a long-term Gogo partner and authorized dealer, has been approved by both TCCA and FAA for these installations.
Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) announced a new partnership with ALAMO Engineering GmbH to develop a European Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna on Cessna Citation Latitude midsize jets. This STC will cover nearly 400 aircraft globally. The HDX system will offer high-performance inflight Wi-Fi, utilizing Eutelsat OneWeb's Low-Earth-Orbit satellite network. Gogo's Galileo HDX system has already been certified for other aircraft types in Europe, with ALAMO Engineering playing a key role in future developments. Gogo is now accepting orders for the new service and will offer in-person demos at EBACE in Geneva.
