BROOMFIELD, Colo., June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It took just 12 weeks for Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO), the leading global provider of broadband connectivity products and services for aviation, to reach its second major milestone for Gogo AVANCE™ L5 with the 200th aircraft taking flight with the new system on board.
To date, more than 400 AVANCE L5 systems have been shipped with hundreds of additional systems on back order and scheduled for delivery in 2018 – highlighting how highly popular the system has been thus far in the business aviation marketplace. In total, Gogo continues to expect to have approximately 500 installations of the new system by the end of 2018.
