Aiming to provide even more connectivity and convenience to its customers, Brazilian full service business aviation company TAM Aviação Executiva has just announced another partnership, this time, with Gogo | Satcom Direct, a global high-speed internet provider, which has an exclusive solution for executive aircraft, providing internet through the installation of a single antenna on the aircraft, connected to an exclusive satellite network that orbits the Earth.
In this business model, the installation of the antenna on the aircraft and all the initial configuration for the service to operate are carried out by TAM Aviação Executiva. Gogo | Satcom Direct, the broadband service provider, then provides high-quality internet for a monthly fee that the customer pays directly to it. Once the customer signs up for the service, they will have access to the latest satellite and antenna technology, allowing them to connect and surf the best and most secure mobile network for executive aviation, anywhere on the planet.
In addition to having support and access to exclusive products, the installation of this service provides a high-speed and stable connection, allowing customers to hold video conferences, download large files and watch streaming services safely and privately during their flights.
According to Wellington Amorim, director of the TAM Aviação Executiva's service centre, this partnership brings even more comfort to customers. “In a world where time is money, we know that those who use executive aviation need to be connected at all times. Onboard internet is an essential tool, as it helps maintain productivity. With the growing demand for this service, we are delighted to have Gogo | Satcom Direct, which shares our commitment to offering the best to customers.”
Installations can now be scheduled and will be carried out from March, subject to approval of STCs from the Brazilian civil aviation aurthority ANAC at TAM Aviação Executiva's service centre at Jundiaí Airport near Sao Paulo, the largest for executive aviation in Latin America, which brings together all solutions in one place, such as aircraft and engine maintenance, parts sales, painting, interior design, hangarage and FBO service.
Initially, TAM Aviação Executiva will carry out the installation on Citation Latitude and Hawker aircraft, in addition to jets from the Cessna Citation 525 series line and its variants.
