Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Business – Gogo Inc. (“Gogo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading provider of broadband connectivity services for the business aviation market. We have served this market for more than 25 years. Our mission is to enrich the lives of passengers and the efficiency of operators with the world’s best business aviation in-flight connectivity and customer support. We have always sought to provide the best connectivity for the business aviation market regardless of technology, and we have a successful history of doing so. Until recently, we focused primarily on business aviation aircraft in North America, which comprise approximately 63% of the worldwide business aviation fleet, and we are the leading provider of in-flight connectivity in that market. Gogo started in analogue air-to-ground (“ATG”) technology in the late 1990s, then, as analogue cellular backhaul disappeared, migrated to narrowband satellite connectivity in the early 2000s, then back to ATG with our digital broadband 3G and 4G networks beginning in 2010. We are currently developing our fourth ATG network – Gogo 5G – that we expect to commercially launch late in the second quarter of 2025. Simultaneous with the development of Gogo 5G, we are actively working with a subset of AVANCE customers and customers utilizing our legacy Gogo Biz ATG airborne system operating on our ground 3G and 4G networks to upgrade to an AVANCE system compatible with a new LTE network. We anticipate this subset of customers will see improved performance because of this network transition, which is expected to occur in early 2026. The cost for the transition to the new LTE network is partially being reimbursed through our participation in the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “FCC Reimbursement Program”). We also continue to provide narrowband satellite services to customers in North America and internationally through distribution agreements with satellite providers. In May 2022, in order to further serve our existing customers and expand our target market, we announced plans to expand our broadband offerings beyond ATG by launching the first global broadband service designed for all models of business aircraft (“Gogo Galileo”). The service will use electronically steered antennas (“ESAs”), specifically designed to address a broad range of business aviation aircraft, operating on a low earth orbit (“LEO”) satellite network. The half duplex (“HDX”) antenna is designed to fit on any size business aircraft and is targeted for commercial launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. The full duplex (“FDX”) antenna is designed for larger aircraft and is targeted for commercial launch in the second quarter of 2025. We believe that Gogo Galileo, in combination with, or as an alternative to, our ATG systems will allow us to increase our penetration of the North American market and provide an upgrade path for our existing ATG customer base. In addition, we believe that Gogo Galileo will allow us to penetrate the business aviation market outside of North America, where only approximately 6 % of business aviation aircraft are installed with in-flight connectivity systems. Basis of Presentation – The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”). These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. We had one class of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 . Acquisition of Satcom Direct – On September 29, 2024, Gogo Direct Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gogo Direct”) and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Transactions”), by and among Satcom Direct Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SD Seller”), SDHC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SDHC Seller”), Satcom Direct Government Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Satcom Government Seller”), ndtHost Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ndtHost Seller” and, together with SD Seller, SDHC Seller and Satcom Government Seller, each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”), Satcom Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Satcom Direct”), Satcom Direct Holding Company, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SDHC”), Satcom Direct Government, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Satcom Government”), ndtHost, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“ndtHost” and, together with Satcom Direct, SDHC, and Satcom Government, each a “Parent Company” and collectively, the “Parent Companies”), solely for purposes of Section 8.8 and Section 8.9 of the Purchase Agreement, James W. Jensen, in his individual capacity, and solely for purposes of Section 2.5 and Section 13.20, the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Gogo Direct will, among other matters, purchase from Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Parent Companies (collectively, the “Purchased Equity”), in exchange for the consideration contemplated thereby. Founded in 1997, the Parent Companies are primarily engaged in providing business, military and government in-flight connectivity services as a reseller of satellite services. The Parent Companies operate worldwide with an international sales and service team based in nine countries. The Parent Companies sell services and equipment globally through their international sales force to OEMs, governments, military, and private fleet companies among others. The Parent Companies manage a network operating center and maintain their own data center in Melbourne, Florida with licensed data sites strategically placed around the world. The acquisition will create the only in-flight connectivity provider able to satisfy the performance and cost needs of every segment of the global business aviation and military/government mobility markets. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), Gogo Direct will acquire the Purchased Equity in exchange for: (i) an aggregate cash purchase amount of $ 375,000,000 , subject to customary purchase price adjustments; (ii) the issuance at Closing of 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to SD Seller (the “Closing Date Stock Consideration”); and (iii) up to an additional $ 225,000,000 in payments of cash and common stock of the Company tied to realizing certain financial performance milestones over the next four years. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as indemnification provisions subject to specified limitations. Among other things, Sellers and Parent Companies have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to, and to cause each of its subsidiaries to, conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, from the date of the Purchase Agreement until the Closing, and not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the transaction without the prior written consent of Gogo Direct. Sellers and the Parent Companies have made certain additional customary covenants, including, among others and subject to certain exceptions, not to solicit proposals relating to acquisition proposals and not to participate in discussions concerning, or furnish information in connection with, acquisition proposals. In addition, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Gogo Direct, Sellers and Parent Companies are required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals, including, among others, certain regulatory approvals with the Federal Trade Commission, Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission and certain international governmental authorities. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (ii) the absence of legal restraints preventing the consummation of the transaction, (iii) the obtaining of the Communications Authorizations (as defined the Purchase Agreement), (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement (subject to certain qualifications), (v) the performance by the parties of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement in all material respects and (vi) with respect to the obligations of Gogo Direct to consummate the Transactions, the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Gogo Direct’s obligation to consummate the transaction is not subject to any condition related to the availability of financing. In connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Gogo Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Intermediate”) have entered into a debt commitment letter that provides for a $ 250 million term loan to fund a portion of the cash purchase price. The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for Gogo Direct and Sellers, including the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the transaction has not been consummated before March 28, 2025. In addition to the remedy of specific performance, the Purchase Agreement also provides that, upon termination of the Purchase Agreement under certain specified circumstances Sellers and the Parent Companies may elect, by notifying the Company, either that (i) the Company shall pay a termination fee of $ 20,000,000 to Sellers or (ii) Sellers shall pursue damages for willful and material breach of the Purchase Agreement against the Company with an aggregate monetary liability of the Company of no more than $ 75,000,000 . Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the significant estimates and bases such estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Accounting standards not yet adopted: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. As this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, most notably in the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. As this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	2. Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed using the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation. The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the effect of stock options, deferred stock units and restricted stock units when the computation is anti-dilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 , the weighted average number of shares excluded from the computation was 2.2 million and 2.4 million, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 , the weighted average shares excluded from the computation was 2.0 million and 1.5 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 ( in thousands, except per share amounts ): For the Three Months For the Nine Months Basic 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income $ 10,630 $ 20,913 $ 41,959 $ 131,211 Weighted average shares outstanding 127,918 129,951 128,513 129,632 Earnings per share - basic $ 0.08 $ 0.16 $ 0.33 $ 1.01 For the Three Months For the Nine Months Diluted 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income $ 10,630 $ 20,913 $ 41,959 $ 131,211 Average shares Weighted average shares outstanding 127,918 129,951 128,513 129,632 Effect of dilutive securities - stock-based compensation 2,471 3,369 3,025 3,750 Total weighted average diluted shares outstanding 130,389 133,320 131,538 133,382 Earnings per share - diluted $ 0.08 $ 0.16 $ 0.32 $ 0.98

Revenue Recognition	3. Revenue Recognition Remaining performance obligations As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price in our contracts allocated to the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RPO”) was approximately $ 273 million and excludes consideration from contracts that have an original duration of one year or less. Approximately $ 262 million of the RPO primarily represents connectivity and entertainment service revenues which are recognized as services are provided, which is expected to occur through the remaining term of the contracts. Our contracts vary in length and generally have terms of two to ten years . We expect to recognize approximately 21 % of our connectivity and entertainment service RPO within the next year, approximately 44 % in one to five years and the remaining 35 % in five to ten years . The remaining $ 11 million of the RPO represents future equipment revenue that is expected to be recognized primarily within the next three years as equipment is shipped. Disaggregation of revenue The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by category (in thousands) : For the Three Months For the Nine Months 2024 2023 2024 2023 Service revenue Connectivity $ 80,537 $ 78,246 $ 241,508 $ 233,291 Entertainment and other 1,320 1,300 3,951 3,816 Total service revenue $ 81,857 $ 79,546 $ 245,459 $ 237,107 Equipment revenue ATG $ 16,001 $ 14,782 $ 52,544 $ 50,665 Narrowband satellite 1,807 1,564 5,729 6,373 Other 864 2,057 3,178 5,622 Total equipment revenue $ 18,672 $ 18,403 $ 61,451 $ 62,660 Customer type Aircraft owner/operator/service provider $ 81,857 $ 79,546 $ 245,459 $ 237,107 OEM and aftermarket dealer 18,672 18,403 61,451 62,660 Total revenue $ 100,529 $ 97,949 $ 306,910 $ 299,767 Contract balances Our current and non-current contract asset balances totaled $ 20.7 million and $ 16.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Government Assistance [Abstract]
Government Assistance	4. Government Assistance FCC Reimbursement Program On July 15, 2022, the Company was notified that it was approved for participation in the FCC Reimbursement Program, designed to reimburse providers of advanced communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of covered communications equipment or services, that have been deemed to pose a national security risk, from their networks. Pursuant to the FCC Reimbursement Program, the FCC approved up to approximately $ 334 million in reimbursements to the Company to cover documented and approved costs to (i) remove and securely destroy all ZTE communications equipment and services in the Company’s terrestrial U.S. networks and replace such equipment and (ii) remove and replace certain equipment installed on aircraft operated by the Company’s ATG customers that is not compatible with the terrestrial equipment that will replace ZTE equipment. Due to a shortfall in the amount appropriated by Congress to fund the FCC Reimbursement Program, approximately $ 132 million of the approved amount is currently allocated to the Company under the program. If Congress appropriates additional funds for this purpose, the allocations of the Company and other approved applicants will be increased pro rata . Program participants are subject to a number of conditions and requirements under the FCC’s rules including a requirement that they submit their first reimbursement request by July 17, 2023 and certify that they have developed a plan to permanently remove, replace and dispose of covered equipment or services within one year following the first reimbursement request. The rules permit participants to petition the FCC for one or more six-month extensions of the completion deadline. The Company, with the assistance of an advisor engaged to help administer the program, submitted and received its first reimbursement claim in July 2023. The Company’s original one year term to complete the program was set for July 21, 2024. On March 29, 2024 the Company was granted its first six-month extension by the FCC extending the program completion deadline to January 21, 2025. Based on discussions with our vendors supporting the program regarding lead times for network equipment, we plan to petition the FCC for multiple extensions, as outlined in our application for the FCC Reimbursement Program. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have recorded a $ 12.9 million and $ 18.3 million receivable from the FCC, respectively, which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Intangible Assets	7. Intangible Assets Our intangible assets are comprised of both indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test of our indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and the results from the test performed in the fourth quarter of 2023 indicated no impairment. We also reevaluate the useful life of indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our goodwill balance was $ 0.6 million. Our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows ( in thousands, except for weighted average remaining useful life ): As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Weighted Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Amortized intangible assets (1) : Software 7.4 $ 76,798 $( 46,435 ) $ 30,363 $ 68,155 $( 45,910 ) $ 22,245 Other intangible assets 9.1 1,622 — 1,622 499 — 499 Service customer relationships 8,081 ( 8,081 ) — 8,081 ( 8,081 ) — OEM and dealer relationships 6,724 ( 6,724 ) — 6,724 ( 6,724 ) — Total amortized intangible assets 93,225 ( 61,240 ) 31,985 83,459 ( 60,715 ) 22,744 Unamortized intangible assets: FCC Licenses 32,283 — 32,283 32,283 — 32,283 Total intangible assets $ 125,508 $( 61,240 ) $ 64,268 $ 115,742 $( 60,715 ) $ 55,027 (1) See Note 4, “Government Assistance,” for additional information.

The Term Loan Facility amortizes in nominal quarterly installments equal to one percent of the aggregate initial principal amount thereof per annum, with the remaining balance payable upon final maturity of the Term Loan Facility on April 30, 2028 . There are no amortization payments under the Revolving Facility, and all borrowings under the Revolving Facility mature on April 30, 2026 . The Term Loan Facility bears annual interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at GIH’s option, either (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) (subject to a floor of 0.75 %) plus an applicable margin of 3.75 % and a credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of 0.11%, 0.26% or 0.43% per annum based on 1-month, 3-month or 6-month term SOFR, respectively or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 %. Loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility bear annual interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at GIH’s option, either (i) an adjusted term SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 0.00 %) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.25 % to 3.75 % per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio and a credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of 0.11 %, 0.26 % or 0.43 % per annum based on 1-month, 3-month or 6-month term SOFR, respectively or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25 % to 2.75 % per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio. Additionally, unused commitments under the Revolving Facility are subject to a fee ranging from 0.25 % to 0.50 % per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2024 , the fee for unused commitments under the Revolving Facility was 0.25 % and the applicable margin was 3.25 %. The Facilities may be prepaid at GIH’s option at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs), subject to minimum principal payment amount requirements. On May 3, 2023, the Company prepaid $ 100 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. As a result, we wrote off $ 2.2 million of the deferred financing costs and unaccreted debt discount, which are included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Subject to certain exceptions and de minimis thresholds, the Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to: • 100 % of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, insurance recovery and condemnation events, subject to reduction to 50 % and 0 % if specified senior secured first lien net leverage ratio targets are met; • 100 % of the net cash proceeds of certain debt offerings; and • 50 % of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), subject to reduction to 25 % and 0 % if specified senior secured first lien net leverage ratio targets are met. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things: incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of disqualified equity interests; incurrence or existence of liens; consolidations or mergers; activities of Gogo and any subsidiary holding a license issued by the FCC; investments, loans, advances, guarantees or acquisitions; asset sales; dividends or other distributions on equity; purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock; payment or redemption of certain junior indebtedness; entry into other agreements that restrict the ability to incur liens securing the Facilities; and amendment of organizational documents; in each case subject to customary exceptions. The Revolving Facility includes a financial covenant set at a maximum senior secured first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50 :1.00, which will apply if the outstanding amount of loans and unreimbursed letter of credit drawings thereunder at the end of any fiscal quarter exceeds 35 % of the aggregate of all commitments thereunder. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, which, if any of them occurred, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all of the then outstanding obligations under the Facilities to be due and payable immediately and the commitments under the Revolving Facility to be terminated. The Revolving Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes of GIH and its subsidiaries and was undrawn as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility was $ 601.4 million and $ 606.9 million, respectively , the unaccreted debt discount was $ 1.8 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount was $ 599.7 million and $ 604.8 million, respectively. We paid approximately $ 19.7 million of loan origination and financing costs related to the Facilities which are being accounted for as deferred financing costs on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the terms of the Facilities. Total amortization expense was $ 0.6 million and $ 1.8 million , respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and $ 0.5 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively, for the prior-year periods and is included in interest expense in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Facilities was $ 9.2 million and $ 11.1 million, respectively. On April 30, 2021, Gogo, GIH, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of GIH (Gogo and such subsidiaries collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), whereby GIH and the Guarantors guarantee the obligations under the Facilities and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the Guarantee Agreement, and GIH and the Guarantors entered into a collateral agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”), in favor of the Collateral Agent, whereby GIH and the Guarantors grant a security interest in substantially all of their respective tangible and intangible assets (including the equity interests in each direct material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary owned by GIH or any Guarantor, and 65% of the equity interests in any non-U.S. subsidiary held directly by GIH or any Guarantor), subject to certain exceptions, to secure the obligations under the Facilities and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the Collateral Agreement.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. We currently use interest rate caps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes, and have designated these interest rate caps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the earnings impact of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded upon the recognition of the variable interest payments related to the hedged debt. In May 2021, we purchased interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $ 650.0 million for $ 8.6 million. The cost of the interest rate caps will be amortized to interest expense using the caplet method, from the effective date through termination date. We receive payments in the amount calculated pursuant to the caps for any period in which the daily compounded SOFR rate plus a credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rate Committee of 0.26% increases beyond the applicable strike rate . The notional amounts of the interest rate caps periodically decrease over the life of the caps. The notional amounts, strike rates and end dates of the cap agreements are as follows (notional amounts in thousands) : Start Date End Date Notional Strike Rate 7/31/2021 7/30/2023 $ 650,000 0.75 % 7/31/2023 7/30/2024 525,000 0.75 % 7/31/2024 7/30/2025 350,000 1.25 % 7/31/2025 7/30/2026 250,000 2.25 % 7/31/2026 7/30/2027 200,000 2.75 % We record the effective portion of changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized. The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense in the event the hedges are no longer considered effective, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . No gains or losses of our cash flow hedges were considered to be ineffective and reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, approximately $ 0.2 million in net unrealized losses from our cash flow hedges were considered to be ineffective and reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings. The unrealized loss was offset with an unrealized gain from the previous quarter for a net zero impact for nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The ineffective portion was the result of a voluntary partial de-designation of the hedge relationship related to a prepayment of our existing variable-rate debt discussed in Note 8, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities.” We estimate that approximately $ 2.3 million currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. We assess the effectiveness of the hedges on an ongoing basis, and the remaining outstanding caps are still considered to be highly effective, and remain designated as a cash flow hedge. Cash flows from interest rate caps are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as investing activities. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 , we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of $ 7.7 million, net of tax of $ 2.4 million, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 , we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of $ 12.7 million, net of tax of $ 3.5 million. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of $ 1.7 million, net of tax of $ 0.4 million and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 , we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of $ 7.2 million, net of tax of $ 2.1 million . Increases and decreases in fair value on interest rate caps above exclude amortization of the purchase price paid for the interest rate caps. When derivatives are used, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks (based on significant observable inputs - Level 2 inputs). The following table presents the fair value of our interest rate derivatives included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Balance sheet location 2024 2023 Current portion of interest rate caps Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 9,056 $ 18,801 Non-current portion of interest rate caps Other non-current assets $ 3,824 $ 10,295 Fair Value Measurement Our derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of interest rate caps, which are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives entered into by us are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using discounted cash flows along with fair value models that primarily use market observable inputs. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, interest rate yield curves, and counterparty credit risks.

Interest Costs	10. Interest Costs We capitalize a portion of our interest on funds borrowed during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and amortized over the useful lives of the assets.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities	11. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities A three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 - defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Refer to Note 9, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for fair value information relating to our interest rate caps. Investment in Convertible Note: On February 26, 2024, Gogo invested $ 5 million in a convertible note offering (“Investment in Convertible Note”). The Investment in Convertible Note accrues interest at 5 % per annum, payable upon maturity of the note or upon conversion, and matures two years after the date of issuance. We have elected to measure our Investment in Convertible Note using the fair value option and record changes in fair value, including accrued interest, in Other (income) expense, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company elected the fair value option for the Investment in Convertible Note to eliminate complexities of applying certain accounting models. The fair value of the Investment in Convertible Note is measured using Level 3 (unobservable) inputs. The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, determined the fair value using a binomial lattice model. The significant assumptions used in the model include the yield, equity volatility, outstanding principal, remaining term, stated interest rate, risk-free interest rate and the current publicly available stock price. The yield is estimated using similar security yields for companies with similar credit ratings. Equity volatility is estimated based on observed equity volatility for similar companies. The outstanding principal, remaining term and stated interest rate are all determined based on contractually defined terms and the risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the remaining time to maturity. The reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Investment in Convertible Note as of September 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands) : For the Three Months For the Nine Months 2024 2024 Balance at beginning of period $ 3,438 $ — Investment — 5,000 Change in fair value 323 ( 1,239 ) Balance at end of period $ 3,761 $ 3,761 Long-Term Debt: As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our only financial asset and liability disclosed but not measured at fair value is the Term Loan Facility, which is reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since it is based on quoted market prices of our instrument in markets that are not active. We estimated the fair value of the Term Loan Facility by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume this obligation. The upfront cash payment used in the calcula tion of fair value on our September 30, 2024 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding any issuance costs, is the amount that a market participant would be willing to lend at such date to an entity with a credit rating similar to ours and that would allow such an entity to achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the scheduled cash outflows under the Term Loan Facility. The fair value and carrying value of long-term debt as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands) : September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Fair Value (1) Carrying Fair Value (1) Carrying Term Loan Facility $ 568,000 $ 599,668 (2) $ 610,000 $ 604,797 (2) (1) Fair value amounts are rounded to the nearest million. (2) Carrying value of the Term Loan Facility reflects the unaccreted debt discount of $ 1.8 million and $ 2.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities,” for further information. Equity Investment: During the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, we purchased an equity investment in a publicly traded company for $ 5.0 million. The equity investment is included in Other non-current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recorded at fair value. The equity investment is classified as a Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy based on the quoted stock price on the New York Stock Exchange American Exchange, an active market. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an unrealized holding gain in the equity investment of $ 0.8 million which is included in Other (income) expense, net in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This equity investment was sold in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation and 401(k) Plan Stock-Based Compensation — As of September 30, 2024, we maintained the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which replaced the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred share units and other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents to eligible employees, directors and consultants, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Concurrent with the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan on June 4, 2024, no further grants are being made under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan remains in effect for all awards outstanding thereunder on or after June 4, 2024. See Note 12, “Stock-Based Compensation and 401(k) Plan,” in our 2023 10-K for further information regarding the 2016 Plan. The majority of our equity grants are awarded on an annual basis. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 , no options to purchase shares of common stock were granted, options to purchase 221,854 shares of common stock were exercised, no options to purchase shares of common stock were forfeited and 44,614 options to purchase shares of common stock expired. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 , 1,964,385 RSUs were granted, 1,342,875 RSUs vested and 280,718 RSUs were forfeited. The fair value of the RSUs granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $ 16.6 million , which will generally be recognized over a period of four years . For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 , 159,881 deferred stock units were granted, 65,669 vested and 169,683 were settled. The fair value of the deferred stock units granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $ 1.3 million , approximately one-third of which was recognized immediately and the remainder of which will be recognized over a period of one year .

Income Tax	13. Income Tax The effective income tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 were 12.5 % and 23.1 % , respectively, compared to 24.3 % and ( 67.1 )% , respectively, for the prior-year periods. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 , our effective income tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % primarily due to deferred tax adjustments and tax benefits related to domestic research and development tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 , our effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % primarily due to state income taxes and stock-based compensation partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic research and development tax credits and deferred tax adjustments. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, our effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % due to state income taxes. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, our effective income tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % due to a partial release of the valuation allowance on our deferred income tax assets, partially offset by state income taxes. We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance related to our deferred income tax assets to determine, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of such deferred assets will not be realized. In our assessments, the Company considers recent financial operating results, the scheduled expiration of our net operating losses, future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable differences, and tax planning strategies. The remaining valuation allowance is still required for deferred tax assets related to certain state credits, foreign net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards as it is more likely than not as of September 30, 2024 that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. We are subject to taxation and file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and many states, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. With few exceptions, as of September 30, 2024 we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision line item in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions were recorded for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , we did no t have a liability recorded for interest or potential penalties.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	14. Leases Operating and Financing Leases — We determine whether a contract contains a lease at contract inception. Lease liabilities are calculated using a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. We have operating lease agreements primarily related to cell sites and office space. Certain cell site and office space leases have renewal option terms that have been deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. These renewal options extend a lease by up to 15 years . We recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2024, there were no significant leases which had not commenced. The following is a summary of our lease expense included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands) : For the Three Months For the Nine Months 2024 2023 2024 2023 Operating lease cost $ 4,202 $ 3,998 $ 12,393 $ 11,908 Financing lease cost: Amortization of leased assets 14 22 42 100 Interest on lease liabilities 3 — 10 8 Total lease cost $ 4,219 $ 4,020 $ 12,445 $ 12,016 Other information regarding our leases is as follows (in thousands, except lease terms and discount rates) : For the Nine Months 2024 2023 Supplemental cash flow information Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows used in operating leases $ 12,864 $ 12,203 Operating cash flows used in financing leases $ 10 $ 8 Financing cash flows used in financing leases $ 8 $ 117 Non-cash items: Operating leases obtained $ 5,021 $ 3,713 Financing leases obtained $ 170 $ — Weighted average remaining lease term Operating leases 6 years 7 years Financing leases 2 years 1 year Weighted average discount rate Operating leases 6.9 % 6.8 % Financing leases 9.0 % 12.9 % Annual future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands) : Years ending December 31, Operating Financing 2024 (period from October 1 to December 31) $ 3,013 $ 46 2025 17,383 62 2026 16,948 60 2027 15,262 15 2028 13,364 — Thereafter 31,463 — Total future minimum lease payments 97,433 183 Less: Amount representing interest ( 18,252 ) ( 15 ) Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 79,181 $ 168 Reported as of September 30, 2024 Accrued liabilities $ 11,176 $ 84 Non-current operating lease liabilities 68,005 — Other non-current liabilities — 84 Total lease liabilities $ 79,181 $ 168

Commitments and Contingencies	15. Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Commitments – We have agreements with various vendors under which we have remaining commitments to purchase hardware components and development services. Such commitments will become payable as we receive the hardware components, or as development services are provided. On September 18, 2024, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement by and between Gogo Business Aviation LLC and Network Access Associates Limited (“Eutelsat OneWeb”), dated as of May 19, 2022 and as previously amended on October 5, 2022 (the “Original Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original Agreement, Gogo partners with Eutelsat OneWeb to utilize its global low earth orbit satellite network. Pursuant to the Amendment, Gogo has made a total guaranteed minimum commitment of $ 52.5 million over a four-year term, with an option to extend. Following the initial term, the Amendment will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless one party provides written notice of its intent not to renew, and either party may terminate the Amendment for breach or for insolvency rights. The Amendment also contains customary terms regarding confidentiality, indemnification and limitation of liability. On May 17, 2024, Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (“Airspan”) filed a plan supplement to its Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, Case No. 24-10621 (the “Plan”), whereby the Company and Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress”) agreed in principle to each provide fifty percent (50%) of a new first lien revolving facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $ 20.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). Unless otherwise extended by the parties, any amounts outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility shall be due and payable in full on the first anniversary of the closing date of the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Plan, including the Company’s participation in the New Revolving Credit Facility, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on June 28, 2024. On June 27, 2024, Airspan and the Company amended the Master Service Agreement, dated November 25, 2019. Further, on October 11, 2024, in connection with Airspan becoming a private company, the Company, Airspan and Fortress executed the necessary documents for the New Revolving Credit Facility to become active. SmartSky Litigation – On February 28, 2022 , SmartSky Networks, LLC brought suit against Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) alleging that Gogo 5G infringes four patents owned by the plaintiff. On February 21, 2023, the plaintiff amended its complaint to allege that Gogo 5G infringes two additional patents recently issued to the plaintiff. The suit seeks compensatory damages as well as treble damages for alleged willful infringement and reimbursement of plaintiff's costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees. On May 29, 2024, Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC amended its answer and counterclaims in the same suit, alleging that three of the six patents asserted by SmartSky are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct before the U.S. Patent Office. A trial date has been scheduled for April 14, 2025. Claim construction proceedings, fact discovery and expert discovery are completed. Dispositive motions are expected to follow in advance of the trial date. We continue to vigorously defend our position in the infringement suit. The outcome of the underlying litigation is inherently uncertain. No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses. On March 5, 2024, Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC filed counterclaims in the same suit, alleging that SmartSky’s ATG network, Flagship equipment, and LITE ATG equipment infringe three patents owned by Gogo. Gogo’s counterclaim suit seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages as well as reimbursement of Gogo's costs and attorneys' fees. On April 10, 2024, the Court held that Gogo's counterclaims would proceed under a separate schedule and would be tried separately from SmartSky's claims. At this time, no schedule has been adopted for Gogo's counterclaims. From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. With respect to such legal proceedings, we accrue a loss when it is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on our company due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted, which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs

Acquisition of Satcom Direct	Acquisition of Satcom Direct – On September 29, 2024, Gogo Direct Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gogo Direct”) and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Transactions”), by and among Satcom Direct Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SD Seller”), SDHC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SDHC Seller”), Satcom Direct Government Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Satcom Government Seller”), ndtHost Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ndtHost Seller” and, together with SD Seller, SDHC Seller and Satcom Government Seller, each a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”), Satcom Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Satcom Direct”), Satcom Direct Holding Company, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SDHC”), Satcom Direct Government, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Satcom Government”), ndtHost, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“ndtHost” and, together with Satcom Direct, SDHC, and Satcom Government, each a “Parent Company” and collectively, the “Parent Companies”), solely for purposes of Section 8.8 and Section 8.9 of the Purchase Agreement, James W. Jensen, in his individual capacity, and solely for purposes of Section 2.5 and Section 13.20, the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Gogo Direct will, among other matters, purchase from Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Parent Companies (collectively, the “Purchased Equity”), in exchange for the consideration contemplated thereby.

The acquisition will create the only in-flight connectivity provider able to satisfy the performance and cost needs of every segment of the global business aviation and military/government mobility markets. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), Gogo Direct will acquire the Purchased Equity in exchange for: (i) an aggregate cash purchase amount of $ 375,000,000 , subject to customary purchase price adjustments; (ii) the issuance at Closing of 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to SD Seller (the “Closing Date Stock Consideration”); and (iii) up to an additional $ 225,000,000 in payments of cash and common stock of the Company tied to realizing certain financial performance milestones over the next four years. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as indemnification provisions subject to specified limitations. Among other things, Sellers and Parent Companies have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to, and to cause each of its subsidiaries to, conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, from the date of the Purchase Agreement until the Closing, and not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the transaction without the prior written consent of Gogo Direct. Sellers and the Parent Companies have made certain additional customary covenants, including, among others and subject to certain exceptions, not to solicit proposals relating to acquisition proposals and not to participate in discussions concerning, or furnish information in connection with, acquisition proposals. In addition, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Gogo Direct, Sellers and Parent Companies are required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals, including, among others, certain regulatory approvals with the Federal Trade Commission, Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission and certain international governmental authorities.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the significant estimates and bases such estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Accounting standards not yet adopted: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. As this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, most notably in the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. As this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
