Free equipment packages available to select Gogo customers adding Inmarsat SwiftBroadband capabilities
EBACE, Geneva, Switzerland, 18 May 2015 (stand M099): Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO), a leading provider of in-flight connectivity and entertainment solutions to the global aero market, introduces an unprecedented new customer loyalty program that makes the benefits of global in-flight connectivity more accessible than ever.
The program enables select, existing Gogo customers to receive free SwiftBroadband equipment packages when they complete installation at an authorized Gogo dealer and activate a new, five-year SwiftBroadband airtime contract with Gogo.
In-flight connectivity services dramatically increase the productivity and enjoyment of the business aviation travel experience for passengers and flight crews. The services can also increase aircraft resale values and provide a competitive edge in charter & fractional markets. Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband service provides voice and data services with near-global coverage at all altitudes and on the ground.
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.

SoCal Jets Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence – And Turns Focus Towards Future
Van Nuys, CA (Nov. 5, 2014) – Doing anything for 30 years is an impressive accomplishment. Doing something difficult for 30 years is even more impressive. Doing something difficult very well for 30 years is truly exceptional.

After its first three decades of operation, SoCal Jets stands as the premier corporate aircraft maintenance facility at the Van Nuys Airport.
Surviving at the Van Nuys Airport for 30 years, through some of the very best and worst of times, is something few aviation companies can claim. Surviving and thriving in this always challenging and changing environment is even more rare. SoCal Jets has managed to do both, thanks largely to the innovation, insight and rock-solid leadership of owner Robert Roig.
Roig and SoCal Jets employ exceptional corporate aircraft technicians, each of whom hold a minimum of 12 years of professional experience, along with FAA and A&P certificates. Working from SoCal Jet’s state-of-the-art, 18,000-square-foot facility, each employee is dedicated to maintaining aircraft to the highest of all standards – with the utmost commitment to the safety and satisfaction of its customers always first and foremost. This personalized service is augmented and accented by the experience cited earlier, along with timely responsiveness and nimble flexibility.
SoCal Jets proudly and expertly services a wide variety of aircraft, including Gulfstream, Challenger, Falcon, Hawker, Learjet, Citation, Westwind, King Air, and Astra. The company also supports many aircraft in Mexico, and is proud to be one of just a handful of U.S. companies to have received certification from the Mexican DGAC.
With 30 years under its operational belt, SoCal Jets now looks to the future – with ambitious and aggressive plans to take the business to the next level. Powered by a high level of excellence, expertise and enthusiasm from everyone throughout the operation, Roig and SoCal Jets are confident that this goal will be achieved.
“We’re always looking to add new people with exceptional passion and experience to the SoCal Jets team,” said Roig. “We’ve come a long way in 30 years, but we envision even greater growth over the next several decades. Of course, we would be nothing without our customers and our own people, and we never lose sight of what has made us successful. It’s this blend of grounded humility and aggressive confidence that allows us to stand out in our industry, and will empower us to soar to new heights in the years to come.”
