BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cirrus
Aircraft has selected Gogo Business Aviation's (NASDAQ:
GOGO) AVANCE L3 system to be
installed as a factory option on new production G2+ Vision
JetTM aircraft.
The G2+ Vision Jet is the first "Personal Jet" aircraft to add
Gogo's inflight connectivity service. Cirrus joins Gogo's
distinguished list of aircraft manufacturers that offer Gogo
equipment from the factory, which includes all nine of the largest
manufacturers of business aviation aircraft in the world.
"The need and desire to be connected in flight is not bound by
aircraft size or aircraft mission – everyone who flies in their own
aircraft deserves to have fast, reliable connectivity," said
Mark Sander, vice president of OEM
sales for Gogo. "The AVANCE L3 is clearly the best solution for
personal jet owners and operators who want, fast, reliable inflight
connectivity on the most reliable network for aviation."
Cirrus's selection of the AVANCE L3 highlights the increasing
desire for connectivity on aircraft of all sizes and mission types.
The L3 delivers the power of the AVANCE platform in the lightest
and smallest form factor available, enabling passengers and crew to
be connected to email, browse the web, or access AVANCE L3's other
value-added features such as moving maps, news feeds, and flight
information.
"Last year Gogo lowered its minimum service level from 10,000
feet AGL (above ground level) to 3,000 feet AGL which provides
additional connectivity time to each flight," Sander continued.
"Today we're seeing a trend where connectivity has become
increasingly important on smaller aircraft such as light jets and
turboprops."
Launched in 2016, the Vision Jet defined a new category in
aviation – the Personal JetTM – with its spacious
pilot and passenger-friendly cabin featuring panoramic windows,
reclining seats, comfortable legroom for five adults and two
children and the only turbine aircraft with a whole airframe
parachute system as standard equipment. The G2+ Vision Jet is a
versatile single-engine jet capable of adapting to the unique needs
of business and personal travel missions.
