Gogo|Satcom Direct renews supplier agreement with Luxaviation
Gogo Business Aviation|Satcom Direct (SD) has signed a second three-year preferred supplier agreement with Luxaviation Group.
The new deal builds on the first signed back in 2021, providing greater “flexibility and resilience” for Luxaviation. It includes access to Gogo Galileo phased array antennas and its North American Air-to-Ground connectivity network, following the recent combination of the two connectivity providers.
Stuart Williamson, MD of Luxaviation Technical Services said: “The 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.”
Luxaviation will continue to benefit from SD’s hardware, including the SD Plane Simple terminal series, Software-as-a-Service applications, flight deck connectivity solutions and customer support. With the renewed agreement, Luxaviation customers will also be able to access connectivity supported by the Gogo Galileo half-duplex, HDX and full-duplex FDX phased array terminals, all from a single source.
Williamson added: “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, senior vice president ofsSales, 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. All the technology has been purpose-built for business aviation and is future-proofed to ensure our customers can keep pace with the rapidly changing connectivity landscape.”
