• Vietnam expected to be first Gogo commercil airline to utilize Inmarsat’s Global Xpress Ka-band satellite technology

Itasca, IL | September 16, 2014– Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), a leading global aero communications service provider, announced today that it has received a bid award letter from Vietnam Airlines to provide in-flight connectivity services on Vietnam Airlines’ fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft and a majority of Vietnam’s Airbus A350 aircraft. The aircraft will be outfitted with a mix of Inmarsat’s new GX Aviation Ka-band service and their proven SwiftBroadband connectivity. The parties are currently negotiating a definitive agreement, with the GX service currently expected to launch in the second half of 2015.

“Gogo continues to gain momentum with the global expansion of our connectivity service. This partnership with Vietnam Airlines will mark many firsts for Gogo, notably the first airline commitment to Inmarsat’s GX Aviation broadband connectivity and Gogo’s first Airbus A350 aircraft and Boeing 787 service commitment,” said Gogo’s president and CEO, Michael Small. “We look forward to working with Vietnam Airlines and our other partners to provide a unique in-flight experience for their passengers.”

“GX Aviation is gathering momentum fast. The first satellite is in operation and the other two satellites are awaiting launch to support a global commercial service expected at the end of June 2015,” said Leo Mondale, President Aviation, Inmarsat. “As the technology challenges are now largely met, we are able to enter into firm contracts with airline customers, and it is particularly exciting to have Vietnam Airlines, who are expanding rapidly in the Asian market, as our GX Aviation launch customer. We are very pleased to support Vietnam Airlines as they upgrade their fleet and their service to their passengers, who are increasingly demanding the type of connectivity they enjoy on the ground.”

Carlsbad, CA | June 19, 2013– ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) and Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) have agreed to work together towards offering ViaSat Ka-band airborne satellite terminals as a factory line-fit option on Boeing commercial aircraft. Airlines will be able to specify ViaSat in-flight connectivity on new Boeing aircraft and take delivery of the planes with the equipment already installed. Factory installation avoids costly down-time involved with taking planes out of service for post-production retrofits. With the system installed, airlines will have the ability to access Exede(R) In The Air, ViaSat’s high-speed in-flight Internet service that is designed to provide vastly improved online access to passengers, similar to the broadband experience and data rates of an in-home connection.

“Within the past few weeks we’ve taken steps toward making our Ka-band in-flight service more attractive to new airline customers in two ways: continuing our plan to expand high-capacity Ka-band coverage and making it easier to add our system to their fleets,” said Mark Dankberg, ViaSat chairman and CEO. “First we announced the new coverage areas that we expect to gain with ViaSat-2. And now factory installation on Boeing planes will simplify the process of getting our equipment on board.”

The recent announcement of ViaSat-2, on a Boeing 702HP satellite platform, is a major step forward in ViaSat plans to expand high-capacity, Ka-band satellite coverage around the globe. ViaSat-2 is designed to increase capacity and speed for mobile satellite communications, offering new capacity over land and sea from North America south to Central America, the Caribbean, and the northern edge of South America, as well as over the primary aeronautical and maritime routes across the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe.

“With the addition of ViaSat airborne terminals to our factory options, Boeing airline customers will have a broader range of selections for high-bandwidth connectivity on their airplanes,” said Dan Murray, chief engineer of Electronic Systems for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We will be working closely with ViaSat to bring this option to market.”
