Gogo sees growth prospects In Middle East, Asia
Inflight connectivity provider Gogo sees good prospects for signing up more airline customers, in particular in the Middle East and Asia, after its selection as a lead supplier by Airbus and its deal with Virgin Australia. In the Middle East, many airlines that already operate “first generation” connectivity systems are likely to upgrade to 2Ku technology, Gogo COO John Wade said, while there are more prospects to sign up new users in Asia. “All those fleets are ripe for a refresh. We are going to see a lot of growth both in terms of upgrades and new users. There is a lot of pent-up demand for connectivity in Asia,” he said. Gogo expects to have its technology installed on approximately 600 aircraft by the end of this year and to fit around 700 in 2018. <br/>
