Aircraft communications service provider, Gogo has announced plans to roll out Wi-Fi on Air Canada's entire North American fleet in May. The agreement also provides for future type-testing of Gogo satellite services for Wi-Fi on international flights. The international trials will take place in 2015.


Air Canada currently has two Wi-Fi equipped Airbus 319 aircraft that are now operating in Canada and the US and, subject to a final agreement with Gogo, the carrier plans to begin outfitting its remaining Airbus A319, A320 and A321 narrow-body and Embraer 190 fleet types, as well as its Air Canada Express CRJ-705 and Embraer 175 aircraft, with Gogo's Air-To-Ground (ATG) and new ATG-4 technologies. The installations are set to begin in May, with the goal of equipping 29 aircraft in 2014 and a targeted completion date of December 2015 for the designated 130 narrow-body aircraft. The 2Ku and Global Xpress satellite trials are expected to take place on select international aircraft in 2015.
