While we have had delays, we are now focused on delivering a brand-new broadband ATG service to our customers that will satisfy data-hungry flyers within North America as they access streaming services on the new ATG service.
– Chris Moore, Gogo CEO
Gogo reports speeds of more than 80Mbps download and 20Mbps upload during the tests, allowing streaming and internet browsing on board without network contention.
With testing complete the company onboarded its first paying customer. It notes more than 450 other planes have the hardware pre-provisioned currently. Activations are expected from January 2026.
Testing covered more than 30 hours of flying across almost 20 routes, according to Gogo. A review of flight history for N222U confirms that data. Most test flights operated from the company’s base at Denver’s Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC). Eventually the flights extended east to Michigan and Texas before heading to the Mid-Atlantic, touching down in Wilmington, DE (ILG) and White Plains. A longer trip to Melbourne, Florida further validated the network.
