Air Canada Offers Altitude Members the Choice of Complimentary Gogo Wi-Fi

CHICAGO, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo GOGO, the leading global provider of broadband connectivity products and services for aviation, announced today that Air Canada is now the first North American airline to offer the choice of complimentary Gogo Wi-Fi to their most frequent flyers.

Each year, Air Canada recognizes its most frequent flyers with Altitude status and offers them the ability to choose select privileges to personalize their travel experience. Beginning later this year, the airline will offer Altitude Elite 75K and Super Elite 100K members the opportunity to select complimentary 6- and 12-month unlimited use passes, respectively, for inflight connectivity on board Air Canada, Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge operated flights.

"We are delighted to partner with Air Canada to bring the industry's leading inflight connectivity solution to their loyal customers for free," said John Happ, Gogo's Regional President, Americas.  "Gogo is finding new ways to leverage connectivity to enable unique experiences for our airline partners that fit their individual needs.  Free Gogo for Air Canada's most frequent customers is a great example of how we are delivering on this for our airline partners."

"Earlier this year, Air Canada announced plans to launch an all new, digital-first loyalty program in June 2020. While we design the future program, we're committed to adding new options and benefits for Altitude members today and over the next two years," said Mark Nasr, Vice President Loyalty & eCommerce. "In-flight Wi-Fi is a critical amenity for business and leisure travelers alike, so we're excited to become the first North American airline to offer the choice of unlimited Wi-Fi plans to our most frequent Altitude members."

Members will be able to choose this Select Privilege as part of the 2018 Altitude benefit year. The passes will also be eligible for use on Gogo's 2Ku service, a leading high-speed satellite Wi-Fi solution.
