Gogo Business Aviation has partnered with Garmin, ForeFlight (JetFuelX) and FltPlan to bring new cockpit and operational applications to its ATG 1000 in-flight connectivity systemfor the light jet and turboprop markets. Starting in the fourth quarter, the ATG 1000 will support the Garmin Pilot, JetFuelX and FltPlan Go apps, adding to the already-supported ForeFlight Mobile, FlightAware Flight Tracker, WSI PilotBrief Optima and myGDC apps.

When connected to the GoGo Biz network, traffic and weather information can be received in flight via Garmin Pilot, while ForeFlight’s JetFuelX helps operators find the best jet fuel prices. FltPlan Go features approach plates on maps; animated weather; auto syncing of NavLogs, weather and routes; checklists; and airport and FBO information.

“Using these apps enabled by Gogo’s ATG 1000 system gives aircraft operators a complete solution for pilots and passengers alike,” said Andy Geist, senior vice president of business aviation solutions for Gogo. “It’s partnerships like these that reinforce the increased utility we provide.”
