[PR] Gogo AVANCE L5 Flying on 200th Business Jet

13 June 2018 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

More solid performance from the Gogo BizAv segment with the new AVANCE L5 kit deploying quickly. Of significant note is that more than 60% of the AVANCE L5 installs are new installs, not just upgrades from existing kit.
