The skies could be on the verge of transformative connectivity. This year, inflight internet company Gogo announced plans to launch a 5G air-to-ground network in 2021 for commercial regional jets, business aviation aircraft and smaller mainline jets in the contiguous United States and Canada.“We’re pretty excited about it,” says Sergio Aguirre, President of Business Aviation for Gogo. “It's going to allow passengers to do all the things online that they do on the ground.
That’s not just a performance upgrade for people on the go—it’s also a fundamental change in the way the industry traditionally approaches in-flight connectivity. With the promise of 5G’s higher performance and passengers’ expectations for seamless connectivity, the decision to install in-flight connectivity becomes a no-brainer for aviation companies. to install connectivity, and that’s what’s going away,” Aguirre says. “It’s a phenomenal growth opportunity for us going forward.”Leveraging that opportunity will first require some serious infrastructure upgrades.
So far, Gogo is on track to meet its planned 2021 launch. And Aguirre expects in-flight connectivity to improve as time goes on.
