Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

Gogo is seeking to meet rising Indian demand for multi-orbit connectivity by getting aircraft supplemental type certificate (STC) approvals for its low-earth-orbit (LEO) systems. According to the U.S. company, India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation is close to granting STCs for Gogo’s Avance connectivity systems installed on aircraft registered in the country.
According to Tom Phillips, Gogo’s regional director for the Asia-Pacific market, the regulatory process is expected to be finished by July. He told AIN that at least four Indian aircraft operators are ready to sign letters of intent for the equipment once the approvals are in hand. Gogo said its lightweight electronically steered array antenna avoids major fuselage modifications.
Gogo is boosting its presence in the Asian market through alliances with local companies Hughes and Elektronik Lab India.The LEO capability ensures fewer breaks in coverage as the system hands off between satellites, as well as steadier coverage and fiber-like connection speeds, the company said.
Entry-level monthly usage costs start at $3,500 per aircraft, which is lower than Starlink’s rates. According to Gogo, it is the only in-flight connectivity provider with Level 4 cybersecurity clearance, with all data routed through the company’s secure data center.
