Gogo Business Aviation has reached a milestone with its Avance L5 and L3 in-flight connectivity systems, which are now on 2,000 business aircraft, the Broomfield, Colorado company announced today. The combination of both systems has flown nearly 600,000 flights, using 262.61 terabytes of data, according to Gogo.

Gogo’s Avance L5 was first installed in October 2017. Avance L5 offers users a 4G experience and serves as an upgradable platform to Gogo’s 5G network, which is scheduled to launch in 2022. Avance L3—which is a smaller, lighter-weight system for light jets and turboprops—was offered beginning in January 2018.

“The Avance L5 and L3's improved performance and functionality over our classic [air-to-ground] systems continue to thrill our customers and drive demand,” said Gogo Business Aviation president Sergio Aguirre. “The need for quality connectivity has never been more important than it is today, and we don't see that slowing down.”

Last month, the company launched an unlimited streaming and data plan for Avance L5 customers called Gogo Biz 4G Limitless and priced at $9,995 monthly. In addition, Gogo added two new fixed data plans also for Avance L5 customers: Gogo Biz 4G with 20 GB of data for $5,650 per month and Gogo Biz 4G with 25 GB of data for $6,495 per month.
