Duncan Aviation's new 5G Trendsetter promotional programme gives incentives to the first 35 owner/operators who sign up to install the new Gogo X3 5G line replacement unit. Adding this unit to the Avance L5 inflight wi-fi system lets passengers access the Gogo 5G network once it launches later this year.

Owner/operators who sign up for the Trendsetter programme by 20 October, 2022 will lock in special pricing, parts and priority scheduling.

“We're especially excited about our two-tier 5G Trendsetter programme that's designed to let owner/operators reserve parts, take advantage of special pricing and lock in priority scheduling at any of Duncan Aviation's three main facilities or select satellites,” says manager of completion and modifications service sales Nate Klenke. “Owner/operators may also pair our 5G Trendsetter programme with Gogo Business Aviation's 5G First-To-Fly promotion for additional savings.”

The Duncan Aviation Platinum programme is available to the first 15 trendsetters who sign up with a $25,000 deposit. The Platinum programme includes a 10 per cent discount off the retail installed cost of $160,000 for the X3; a $12,000 Duncan Aviation rebate to be used at any of the facilities for additional services within 12 months of installing the X3; preferred parts allocation for the X3; and priority scheduling into select Duncan Aviation facilities.

The Duncan Aviation Gold programme is available to an additional 20 trendsetters who sign up with a $25,000 deposit, and it also includes a 10 per cent discount off the $160,000 cost of installing the X3, preferred parts allocation for the equipment and priority scheduling into Duncan Aviation facilities.

Currently, the Duncan Aviation 5G Trendsetter programme is available for owner/operators of Gulfstream GIV/G450; Challenger 300/350; Challenger 604 variants; GL variants; and Citation 560XL aircraft.

Duncan Aviation has several supplemental type certificates (STCs) in work and future plans for additional makes and models.

The Gogo Business Aviation Avance L5 is a prerequisite before installing the X3 5G LRU.
