Flex Aero has been appointed an authorised dealer for Gogo, the only multi-orbit, multi-band connectivity provider dedicated to business aviation. Under the agreement, Flex will promote and deliver Gogo products and services in Brazil and the wider Latin American region, becoming the latest dealer to join Gogo’s global dealer network.

Family-owned over four generations, Flex has roughly 100 years of experience in the aviation business and is the largest privately owned executive MRO in Latin America, completing more than 2,000 service orders per year. It operates out of multiple hangars dedicated to MRO across three locations in Brazil and is the only executive MRO in the country with a fully integrated SAP system running across 100 per cent of its operation.

Flex will introduce the full range of Gogo connectivity hardware, software and services in the region, giving customers a wider choice of Gogo’s purpose-built business aviation connectivity solutions and added-value services.

Nicholas Falco, CEO, Flex, says: “As demand for consistent, global in-flight connectivity continues to grow across Latin America, we are pleased to support Gogo and, more importantly, our customers.”

He adds: “We know our operators will particularly appreciate the ability to optimize the multi-orbit, multi-band options to install connectivity that best suits their mission, improves operational efficiency and ensures streamlined connectivity management.”

Headquartered in Jundiaí, near São Paulo, Flex offers airframe maintenance, avionics installation, aircraft modifications, interior and paint shops, component repairs and engineering and certification work including STCs. It holds Part 145 certifications and approvals from ANAC and other international entities. Flex is also committed to developing supplemental type certificates (STCs) for Gogo equipment across a range of platforms.
