The Fort Worth-based company filed a lawsuit in district court in Tarrant County on Friday against Gogo, its current Internet provider for in-flight Wi-Fi, saying it notified Gogo that it has found a faster Internet service. In the lawsuit, American says its contract with Gogo allows it to renegotiate or terminate its agreement if another company other than Gogo offers a better service.
After carefully evaluating the new technology and services in the marketplace, American has decided to exercise its rights under the Agreement and recently notified Gogo that ViaSat offers an in-flight connectivity system that materially improves on Gogos air-to-ground system, the suit says.
