Gogo Business Aviation said it is gaining momentum as the company and its partners prepare to inaugurate its global low-earth-orbit (LEO) broadband service, which is expected to deliver an "order-of-magnitude" improvement in in-flight connectivity.

OneWeb, Gogo’s satellite network provider, finished building out its broadband constellation in March with the launch of the final 36 satellites, bringing the number of satellites in its network to 618. Of those, only 588 are needed to provide global coverage, and the other units will provide added resiliency and redundancy, according to OneWeb. Another 15 spare satellites are scheduled to launch on May 19. The company is on track to have its new broadband network operational by first-quarter 2024.
