November 6, 2026
- 10-year renewal secures Gogo’s exclusive nationwide 800 MHz ATG spectrum, the foundation of its North American business aviation network
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO) (“Gogo” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of broadband connectivity services for the business and military/government aviation markets, today announced that the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has renewed the Company’s Commercial Aviation Air-Ground Radiotelephone licenses for an additional 10-year term, extending Gogo’s authorization to operate its exclusive nationwide air-to-ground (“ATG”) spectrum through October 31, 2036.
The renewed licenses cover Gogo’s exclusive 800 MHz air-to-ground spectrum across the United States and its 150 towers. The renewed licenses support the transition of legacy ATG customers to the AVANCE platform while complementing the Company’s Gogo Galileo LEO satellite offering for aircraft flying globally. Gogo is the sole licensee of this unencumbered spectrum, which powers its nationwide ATG network and the Gogo AVANCE and Gogo 5G connectivity systems installed on thousands of business aircraft across North America.
“This renewal secures the exclusive spectrum on which our air-to-ground network is built for the next decade,” said Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo. “We’re grateful to the FCC for its thorough review of our application. Our customers rely on dedicated, dependable connectivity over North America, and we shall continue to innovate across our multi-orbit, multi-band services to provide it.”
Gogo has operated its nationwide ATG network since 2008, when it launched the first air-to-ground broadband network built for aviation in the U.S. The renewal supports Gogo’s continued investment in its terrestrial network, including the Gogo 5G rollout and the transition of its legacy ATG customers to the AVANCE platform, while complementing the Company’s Gogo Galileo LEO satellite offering for aircraft flying globally.
