Gogo signs $15m-plus GEO lease with government customer

The GEO solution ensures global connectivity, said Gogo.

Gogo has signed a communications lease worth more than $15m to provide geostationary (GEO) satellite connectivity to a government customer.

The GEO solution ensures global connectivity, said Gogo, even in areas like Russia, China and India where low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite services are restricted.

“This renewal reflects the confidence built through years of reliable performance and responsive support,” says Chris Moore, CEO, Gogo. “The connectivity gives this customer a proven high performance GEO solution, backed by people who understand the demands of sovereign customers and are available around the clock.”

Gogo’s global support team monitors and assists customers in multiple languages 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and can send a technician to the tarmac within 24 hours, if required.

“At Gogo, our philosophy is to minimise data retention and collect only the information necessary to manage, deliver and support our services. If information is not essential to delivering the service, it is not our business,” adds Moore. 

Gogo said it provides continuous network monitoring, advanced protections, as well as specialised training for operators and flight departments on cybersecurity.

In August, Gogo reported second-quarter 2026 total revenue of $222.8m, down 1% year-over-year and 2% sequentially.

Service revenue was $191.3m, up 2% sequentially, driven by the company’s military and government business, which posted service revenue of $39.9m, up 40% year-over-year and 20% sequentially. Equipment revenue fell to $31.5m, down 18% sequentially after a robust first quarter.
