🛰️ Connectivity in the skies is more important than ever. At last month's Connecting with Customers conference hosted by Gogo in Denver, our own Tony Brancato took the stage during the MRO Presidents Panel to share insights on evolving customer expectations and the growing demand for onboard connectivity. Aircraft will increasingly be grounded without reliable in-flight connectivity. With new technologies emerging every few years, it's critical to understand how easily those upgrades can be implemented and how they impact long term performance. From reliability to ease of integration, StandardAero is proud to help our customers navigate the evolving landscape of on-board connectivity with expert support and smart solutions. 👉 Connect with our #AircraftMRO experts today to learn how: https://ow.ly/egzX50Wq5t3 #BusinessAviation #BizAv #ConnectingWithCustomers #Gogo #Connectivity #StandardAero
