Monday, 16 Mar, 2016 0
In-flight Wi-Fi provider Gogo has signed its first deal to bring connectivity to the China market.
 
It has partnered with Shareco Technologies to install 2Ku in-flight technology to 50 planes for Hainan Airlines and Beijing Capital Airlines.
 
Gogo will also offer its Gogo Vision wireless in-flight entertainment system for these aircraft.
 
"We are extremely excited to partner with Shareco to deliver in-flight connectivity to passengers in China," said Gogo CEO Michael Small.
 
"2Ku was built on the premise of being able to deliver an experience similar to what passengers experience on the ground all over the world including the Chinese market. Gogo will help assure that Shareco is at the leading edge of in-flight connectivity technology today and in the future."
 
The two companies aim to complete installation on all 50 aircraft within two years.
 
"We have been looking for great partners to find the best that can customise in-flight connectivity and in-flight entertainment solutions, as well as other things passengers may be interested in. We believe that Gogo, as a pioneer in this field, is one of the best," said Pan Yunbin, CEO of Shareco.
