Gogo has appointed UAE-based Falcon Technic as an authorized dealer for its satellite connectivity systems. Falcon Technic, the maintenance, repair and overhaul division of Alex Group Investment, is now approved to support the distribution and installation of Gogo’s multi-band, multi-orbit Gogo Galileo and Plane Simple equipment. The company’s Dubai facility holds maintenance organization issued by regulators in the UAE and Aruba.
Meanwhile, the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority recently issued a design organization approval to Falcon Technic, clearing it to handle aircraft cabin refurbishments and exterior upgrades. The agency also issued an air operator certificate to sister company Alex Jet Aviation Services, which provides charter flights through the Falcon Luxe brand.
In May, Falcon Technic ordered multiple Gogo Galileo HDX antenna systems for the group’s charter fleet. The terminals, which operate through the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite constellation, will be installed on its Bombardier Global Express and 5000 jets.
“The Middle East region is particularly buoyant right now, and we’re pleased to have appointed a local distributor to support our continued growth,” said Dave Falberg, Gogo’s senior v-p for sales in the EMEA and APAC regions.
