Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) | Satcom Direct has signed a second, three-year, preferred supplier agreement with Luxaviation Group, continuing the close relationship first forged between the business aviation operator and Satcom Direct in 2021.
The new deal provides even greater flexibility and resilience for Luxaviation, as it includes access to Gogo Galileo phased array antennas and its North American Air-to-Ground connectivity network, following the recent transaction combining the two connectivity providers.
Luxaviation Group will continue to benefit from the superior value delivered by SD’s hardware, including the SD Plane Simple terminal series, Software-as-a-Service applications, flight deck connectivity solutions, and 24/7/365 award-winning customer support. With the renewed agreement, Luxaviation customers will also be able to maximize the connectivity supported by the Gogo Galileo half-duplex, HDX, and full-duplex FDX phased array terminals, all from a single source.
“The Gogo|SD offering brings real value to our business and, more importantly, our customers by enabling us to deliver broadband connection, regardless of aircraft size. This service differentiation means we can support our customers’ seamless transition from digital life on the ground to the skies,” said Stuart Williamson, MD of Luxaviation Technical Services. “Customers expect to be connected all the time, and with this renewed agreement, we have the confidence that we can provide uninterrupted broadband to our customers wherever they travel. This is backed by the assurance that if a problem occurs, a human expert is at hand; this is invaluable for a company like ours where customer-centric service is at the core of all we do.”
Dave Falberg, SVP Sales, EMEA APAC at Gogo|Satcom Direct, said, “The expanded portfolio means we can help our customers curate multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity to support all their connectivity needs.
