Skyservice Business Aviation will designate capacity at its Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal locations for Gogo Business Aviation Avance installations, the Ontario-based MRO and business aircraft management, charter, and broker firm said.
The Gogo-authorized dealer has established a program to create a center of excellence in which customers operating a legacy air-to-ground (ATG) system can reserve a priority booking for installation of Avance ahead of Gogo's anticipated early 2026 network migration to newer long-term evolution (LTE) technology.
Aircraft owners who do not upgrade to an Avance system before then will lose their Gogo in-flight connectivity upon completion of the network migration. Those who do upgrade from a legacy system to Avance will see an immediate improvement in connectivity performance when Gogo completes the network transition to LTE. Customers who upgrade to Avance from a legacy ATG system can take advantage of Gogo rebates.
"Skyservice has been a valued Gogo partner since 2013," said Gogo v-p of aftermarket sales David Salvador. "Having completed 20 system installations, Skyservice's expertise will help guide customers through our anticipated migration to newer technology."
Having received supplemental type certification approval from Transport Canada Civil Aviation and the FAA for the Gogo 5G system, Bombardier Challenger 300 owners who elect to install a Gogo Avance L5 today can also install the full Gogo 5G provisional kit.
