Gogo receives FAA certification for C1 unit across 42 aircraft models

BROOMFIELD, CO - Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOGO), whose stock has surged 88% over the past six months and currently trades near its 52-week high of $15.10, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certification for its C1 line replaceable unit across 42 aircraft models through an Approved Model List. According to InvestingPro data, the company has shown remarkable momentum with 13 key investment signals available for subscribers.

The certification covers 70% of North American Gogo legacy air-to-ground customer aircraft and will ensure compatibility with the company’s upcoming LTE network upgrade scheduled to launch in May 2026. The company, with a market capitalization of $1.88 billion and impressive revenue growth of 41.5% in the last twelve months, continues to strengthen its market position.

The approved aircraft models include Cessna Citation, Gulfstream, Bombardier Challenger and Learjet, Dassault Falcon, Embraer, and Hawker family models, according to the company’s press release statement.

The C1 unit will allow customers currently using legacy ATG 1000, 2000, 4000 or 5000 systems to transition to Gogo’s upgraded 850MHz Licensed LTE network. The device contains a dual-technology aircard that connects to the existing network and will automatically switch to the new LTE network when available.

"ATG continues to represent a valuable connectivity solution for aircraft operating over North America, so we want to make it easy and fast for our customers to maintain their connectivity while seamlessly transitioning to the upgraded LTE network," said Gogo CEO Chris Moore.

Gogo designed the C1 with external dimensions and attachment points matching legacy products to enable straightforward replacement with minimal downtime.

The company is offering a $35,000 installation incentive for customers who complete the C1 installation before December 31, 2025. Additional promotions are available for customers transitioning directly to Gogo’s AVANCE system.

Metrea Aerospace Design collaborated with Gogo to generate the Approved Model List STC for the certification.
