Aircell
haslaunched a new pricing option for Gogo Inflight Internet
service for smartphones. Passengers can now connect using
their handheld devices for $7.95 on any Gogo-equipped flight of any
length.
Available on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Virgin America
Gogo-equipped flights, the new $7.95 handheld pricing option allows
smartphone users to surf the Web, download entertainment, check e-mail,
stay connected to their social networks and basically use their
handheld devices to their full extent on the Gogo Inflight Internet
service. Laptop users can still connect to Gogo for $12.95 on flights
lasting longer than three hours and $9.95 on flights lasting less than
three hours.
Gogo pricing and accessibility options continue to expand. Beyond
integration with enterprise connectivity services like iPass, Aircell
is exploring the addition of daily and monthly Gogo subscriptions in
the near future. Additional options will be launched in the coming
months, enabling passengers to easily connect on Gogo flights when they
want, how they want.
"Though laptops are increasingly part of travelers' carry-on
luggage, Wi-Fi enabled handsets are even more ubiquitous on planes,"
said Tom Weigman, Executive Vice President, Wireless Services, Aircell.
"Our new handheld pricing option enables smartphone users to connect to
Gogo at a price that makes sense for their mobile Internet needs. The
new pricing option has been well received in its initial days and we
look forward to working with our airline partners and their passengers
to continue expanding the ways they can access Gogo."
