JBJ Participacoes LTDA (JBJ Agropecuária), a farming corporation based in Brazil, has been announced as the launch customer for Gogo Galileo HDX in South America, with the installation already completed on an Embraer Phenom 300E.
“We regularly fly across Brazil and South America, so we immediately saw the value of adding the Gogo Galileo HDX connectivity system to our aircraft,” said José Batista Júnior, CEO JBJ Agropecuária. “With the system installed, we can stay productive, keep in touch with our farms, and follow the latest relevant industry news, enabling us to make more informed commercial decisions during our extensive trips. Knowing that the crew’s operational capabilities will be strengthened will make our flight department more operationally and financially efficient, and we’re especially pleased to have access to Gogo’s human customer support and local presence in Brazil.”
The terminal includes the Gogo Galileo half-duplex ESA, Gogo AVANCE SCS, and Gogo Vision 360 service, and was installed on the aircraft by TAM Aviação Executiva under an EASA approved STC developed by Atlas Air Service in Germany, with National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) certification pending for the Brazilian market.
“Gogo Galileo HDX is perfectly sized for the Phenom 300E, and we’re delighted we can provide a solution that has until now, not been available for the South American market,” commented Ewerton Libanio, Managing Director, Gogo Brazil. “JBJ Agropecuária now receives uninterrupted, reliable connectivity, which adds value to their business and their asset. This is the first time we’ve worked with JBJ Agropecuária. Their immediate interest indicates that the broad suite of Gogo products and services is a welcome addition to the South American market.”
