Friday Flyday: On Board Gogo’s Jimmy Ray
Join me on board Gogo’s Jimmy Ray, a 737-500 used for testing the company’s latest and greatest in-flight internet service.
Gogo 2Ku set to fly on GOL
Gogo is up to 3 airlines flying with its new, faster 2Ku service. GOL completed its first install and has an awesome video to go along with the plans for full-fleet coverage in the coming months.
American Splits Connectivity Plans: Winners and Losers
American Airlines is switching up its in-flight internet setup, giving ViaSat a big win and dealing a blow to Gogo. As for passengers, still a lot more info needed to decide whether we win or lose.
The “other” In-flight connectivity story

JetBlue Growing Mint, Seats, IFE and More
New seats, a new entertainment system, new galleys, more wifi and even a mild STFU to a Wall Street analyst. Yup, just another quarter on the JetBlue earnings call.
Getting Giddy about Gogo GTO
Gogo took a big step towards introducing its new high-speed GTO and 2Ku satellite services this week. Passengers will (relatively) soon see a big jump in the bandwidth available on board.
JetBlue’s FlyFi Set to Remain Free
The fastest internet in the sky will remain free for customers as JetBlue re-ups its commitment to keep its FlyFi product fee-free. Alas, the fitting of the smaller E190 planes is delayed a bit, but still expected to complete within a year.
Delta signs as Gogo’s largest 2Ku customer
Delta and Gogo are teaming up to dramatically expand in-flight internet connectivity options. More than 250 planes will have faster service covering more of the globe. That’s great news for passengers.
Hating hater hates on in-flight internet
I love a good rant, particularly a well written one published under the guise of “news” by the NYTimes. Alas, this week’s lamenting on in-flight internet misses the boat a bit.
