The company that keeps you connected at 35,000-feet has been honored with the World Airline Entertainment Association’s award for Best Achievement in Technology.

Aircell and Gogo Inflight Internet received the award for “Best Achievement in Technology” in the Avion Awards. Gogo currently works with five airlines (AirTran, American, Delta, United and Virgin America) to offer travelers the option of connecting in-flight. The Aircell equipment is currently installed on more than 570 aircraft.

“2009 has certainly been exciting for Aircell, with three new airline customer announcements, fleet-wide Gogo installations on two airlines and more significant milestones yet to come before year’s end,” said Ron LeMay, Aircell President & CEO.

“Receiving the ‘Best Achievement in Technology’ award by WAEA is a
testament to Gogo’s success in such a short time period and Gogo’s
bright future as a revenue generator for the airlines and productivity
tool and source of information and entertainment for passengers.”

The Avion Award for Best Achievement in Technology was given earlier this week at the WAEA 30th Annual Conference & Exhibition in
Palm Springs.
