FORT LAUDERDALE: Banyan Air Service, based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, recently completed its first installation of a Gogo AVANCE L5 system on a Bombardier Challenger 300. The project involved the removal of the interior, installation of the L5 system, re-installation of the interior and the final touch-up paint. The project was completed in less than three weeks, without any discrepancies, and within the projected budget.
The Banyan install team said, “The biggest hurdle was the previous antenna placement in the cabin. We worked directly with Gogo and found the optimal performance being above the headliner instead of behind the side panels. We were able to give this Challenger seamless performance of the system throughout the cabin.”
Gogo AVANCE L5 offers the latest in 4G in-flight connectivity with the ability to stream video and audio, or host a web conference. In addition, you can surf the web, send email with attachments, or text or talk using your personal smartphone.
Andrew Major, chief pilot for MOTT Aviation said, “Banyan did an outstanding job. I couldn’t recommend Banyan enough. A big thanks to all at Gogo and Banyan for a job well done. We have seen a 100% improvement since we have moved to the new L5 4G. Now fully loaded with each person having two devices doesn’t make a difference. All works really fast with the new version including streaming movies.”
