Apcela, an operator of high-performance, mission-specific networks, has launched its new ATG dealer network alongside the introduction of new Sign and Fly incentives, rebates and low-interest rate financing programmes designed to make upgrading in-flight connectivity easier and more affordable than ever for business aircraft operators. This follows Apcela's acquisition of SmartSky's US air-to-ground network earlier this year.

These initiatives streamline the installation process, eliminate upfront upgrade costs and accelerate the transition to Apcela's next-generation broadband ATG connectivity solutions. Qualified customers can take advantage of exclusive Sign and Fly incentives, rebates and tailored financing options through participating authorised dealers.

“We're removing the financial and logistical barriers that have historically slowed the adoption of next-generation inflight connectivity,” says Mark Casey, CEO of Apcela. “With our new dealer network and Sign and Fly programmes, operators can now upgrade to high-speed ATG broadband with no compromise on performance, cost or convenience.”

Apcela's preferred dealers, Altus Aerospace, Brunswick Aviation Services and Davinci Jets Services, co-exhibited with Apcela during NBAA-BACE.

Both Altus Aerospace and Davinci Jet Services currently support their in-house fleets, which are operating Apcela One and Dual ATG systems flying on Learjet, Citation, King Air and Pilatus aircraft. Apcela also has new One ATG installations underway with both Altus and Brunswick outfitting two new customers operating fleets of Hawkers and Learjets respectively.

Eric Legvold, CEO of Davinci Jets, says: “Our clients demand the same speed and reliability in the air that they enjoy on the ground. Apcela's next-generation ATG technology delivers exactly that; streaming, communications and real-time data without interruption and at a tremendous value. From an installation and operations standpoint, it's a seamless solution that is significantly enhancing our fleet's performance and customer experience.”

Kunal Thakkar, VP of ATG market development, adds: “Our dealer partners are the cornerstone of Apcela's expansion into business aviation. They bring unmatched expertise in installation, integration and customer support, ensuring every operator can experience true broadband performance in the air.”

With these new programmes and partnerships, alongside a growing backlog of new installations across key partners and customers, Apcela continues to advance its mission of redefining airborne connectivity by combining innovative ATG technology with enterprise-grade networking performance.
