Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft
receive priority bookings
MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ - Skyservice Business Aviation ("Skyservice"), a
North American leader in business aviation, will designate capacity
at its Calgary, Toronto and Montreal locations for Gogo Business Aviation
(NASDAQ: GOGO) AVANCE installations,
enhancing the inflight experience and connectivity for flight crew
and passengers.
Skyservice, a Gogo-authorized dealer in Canada, has established a program to create a
center of excellence in which customers operating a legacy
air-to-ground (ATG) system (including ATG 1000, 2000, 4000 and
5000) can reserve a priority booking for installation of AVANCE
ahead of Gogo's anticipated early 2026 network migration to newer
long-term evolution (LTE) technology.
"Timing is essential for aircraft owners to upgrade their Gogo
systems before the network cutover date and Skyservice is prepared
with dedicated slots and skilled crew to perform expert
installations with minimum downtime," said Benjamin Murray, President and CEO of
Skyservice. "Our ultimate goal is to extend the long-term value of
customers' aircraft, maintain safe operations and improve the
operating experience for pilot, crew and passengers alike."
Aircraft owners who do not upgrade to an AVANCE system will lose
their Gogo inflight connectivity upon completion of the network
migration. Those who do upgrade from a legacy system to AVANCE will
see an immediate improvement in connectivity performance with an
additional boost when the network transition to LTE is
complete.
"Skyservice has been a valued Gogo partner since 2013," said
David Salvador, vice president of
aftermarket sales for Gogo. "Having completed 20 system
installations, Skyservice's expertise will help guide customers
through our anticipated migration to newer technology."
Having received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) approval
from Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and the Federal
Aviation Authority (FAA) for the Gogo 5G system on Bombardier
Challenger 300 series aircraft, Challenger 300 business owners who
elect to install a Gogo AVANCE L5 today can also install the full
Gogo 5G provisional kit.
Customers who upgrade to AVANCE from a legacy ATG system can
take advantage of Gogo rebates ranging from $25,000 to $50,000.
For the utmost convenience when upgrading to a Gogo AVANCE system,
