East Alton, IL – June 24, 2025 – West Star Aviation, an authorized dealer for Gogo, is set to offer robust support for the installation of the newly certified Gogo C1 line replaceable unit (LRU). Recently, Gogo announced the granting of Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for this unit across 42 aircraft models, which caters to about 70% of their legacy air-to-ground (ATG) customer aircraft in North America.

As Gogo prepares to transition its Gogo Biz North American Licensed network to LTE (long-term evolution) technology, West Star Aviation is strategically positioned to facilitate the replacement of the legacy ATG systems to Gogo C1 efficiently. With a wide network of over 200 AOG technicians and multiple mobile repair teams, we can execute installations at any of our facility locations, in customers’ hangars, or on the road.

Customers are encouraged to reach out to West Star Aviation at 215-937-9020. This number directs them to our 24-hour control center, where we can quickly initiate the installation process for their C1 system. After the installation is completed, customers will have the opportunity to apply for a $35,000 rebate, further enhancing the financial value of the C1 installation.

It is important to note that customers must commit to the C1 unit by December 31, 2025, to be eligible for the direct to customer rebate after installation.

“Our collaboration with Gogo for the installation of the C1 highlights the capabilities of West Star Aviation’s extensive network of dedicated technicians,” stated Allen McReynolds, President and COO of West Star Aviation. “We fully understand the critical role connectivity plays for our customers, and we are dedicated to providing support in every possible way. We aim to ensure a smooth transition, allowing our clients to fully enjoy the improved in-flight experience they rely on.”

With all necessary units and installation kits readily available, West Star Aviation is committed to facilitating an expedited transition while minimizing downtime for our customers. We look forward to assisting clients in enhancing their in-flight connectivity.
