In anticipation of a backlog for connectivity system upgrades in 2025, Duncan Aviation is encouraging customers to get ahead of the pack by offering sizeable future credits for upgrading from Gogo’s legacy air-to-ground (ATG) systems to the AVANCE L3 or AVANCE L5 connectivity platforms. If legacy ATG owner/operators haven’t chosen which AVANCE product best suits their needs, Duncan Aviation will offer credit for the installation of Gogo C1, a transitional option that maintains current in-flight connectivity as Gogo launches its Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network.
