VAN NUYS, CA (August 13, 2014) –– If SoCal Jets could distill its operating philosophy down to one word, it would be:
Better.
And thanks to a new partnership with in-flight connectivity innovator and leader Aircell, Van Nuys, CA-based SoCal Jets has become even better. Again.
SoCal Jets has officially become a certified United States Aircell dealer – and in so doing, has also joined a powerful and diverse global network.
“Due to customer demand, we expanded our services to include avionics a few years ago,” said Robert Roig, President and Founder of SoCal Jets, Inc. “Being awarded an Aircell dealership in Mexico, and now in the United States, reflects highly on our team’s performance and capabilities.”
A Gogo company, the Broomfield, CO-based Aircell ranks as the leading provider of in-flight connectivity equipment and services to the business aviation market.
Via a full range of services including voice, Internet, cockpit data and more, Aircell enhances the productivity, safety and enjoyment of the aviation experience for business travelers.
Thanks to the agreement between SoCal Jets and Aircell, SoCal Jets will become a proud part of an authorized Aircell dealer/distributor network that spans six continents and serves a global customer base.
“We’re very pleased to welcome SoCal Jets to our global network of dealers and distributors – particularly as we continue to expand our product and service offerings,” said John Wade, Aircell’s Executive Vice President and General Manager.
An established, innovative and trusted brand in airborne communications, Aircell is a factory option at every major business aircraft manufacturer, and is also installed on the world’s largest fractional ownership fleets. The only company to offer equipment for three of the industry’s most popular network technologies – Iridium Satellite, Inmarsat SwiftBroadband and Gogo Biz® – Aircell provides solutions addressing any customer need, aircraft type or geography.
The recipient of several dozen awards for innovation, Aircell is widely credited with many of the aviation industry’s most influential historical achievements, beginning with the groundbreaking airborne cellular concept that launched the company in 1991.
