Canadian fractional operator AirSprint Private Aviation has opted for Gogo Business Aviation 5G connectivity.
The operator will upgrade its Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Embraer aircraft to Gogo 5G and the agreement also includes options for AirSprint to upgrade its midsize aircraft with Gogo Galileo HDX, Gogo’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) global broadband solution, expected to launch in the second half of 2024.
“We strive to provide the highest level of service, and we are always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our fractional owners’ experience—seamless inflight connectivity (IFC) from Gogo was an easy decision,” said James Elian, President & CEO of AirSprint. “Gogo’s 5G system will allow us to provide the best-in-class IFC our owners expect.”
Gogo says its 5G is expected to deliver speeds five to 10 times faster than current speeds, at approximately 25 Mbps on average, and 75-80 Mbps at its peak.
“AirSprint’s selection of Gogo 5G reinforces the value of ATG connectivity for aircraft flying in North America that demand exceptional speeds,” said Sergio Aguirre, president and chief operating officer of Gogo. “Coupled with Gogo’s award-winning customer support, AirSprint customers will realize the superior performance of Gogo 5G on the industry’s most reliable ATG network.”
According to Gogo, its expansion of the Gogo 5G network in Canada will add significantly more time for in-flight connectivity for operators flying in or through the country.
