John Wade, Gogo’s Executive Vice President and General Manager said, “Through the years, Gogo has been recognized for creating the industry’s most generous loyalty programs and today’s announcement continues that trend. Never before has an in-flight connectivity equipment package been offered at no cost. With connectivity playing an increasingly-important role in travelers’ lives, we expect this program to give our existing customers even greater access to a fully-connected in-flight experience.”

The loyalty program is available to existing Gogo customers with non-N-registered aircraft, as well as customers with the company’s Gogo Biz in-flight Internet service installed. To qualify, customers must activate a new, five-year SwiftBroadband service contract with Gogo. Installation and certification costs at an authorized Gogo dealer are the responsibility of the customer. Program begins in July 2015 and expires March 31, 2016. For complete details and restrictions, operators are invited to contact Gogo or an authorized Gogo dealer.
