CHICAGO, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo (NASDAQ:
GOGO), the leading global provider of broadband connectivity
products and services for aviation, announced today that it has
been selected by the Cathay Pacific Group to install Gogo's 2Ku
inflight connectivity solution on its wide-body fleet.
The carrier will install 2Ku on its Airbus A330 and Boeing 777

both part of the Cathay Pacific Group.
2Ku is the industry's leading inflight connectivity solution and

to bring their guests a new onboard connectivity experience with
2Ku," said Michael Small, Gogo's

Hong Kong's flagship carrier,
Cathay passengers expect a premium experience, which 2Ku is
delivering today with superior bandwidth, coverage and
availability."
With more than 2,000 aircraft awards, 2Ku is the most rapidly
adopted satellite-based broadband connectivity technology in
aviation. The technology has been adopted by leading airlines in
North America, South America, Europe and now Asia.
"Our goal is to allow our customers to be connected anytime and
anywhere – and this agreement with Gogo is a huge step in enabling
us to deliver this," said Paul Loo,
Cathay Pacific Chief Customer and Commercial Officer."
2Ku will give Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon's guests a
seamless experience across their existing fleet of wide-body
