Gogo to Show Magnolia Pictures’ Films to Airline Passengers
Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), which offers in-flight connectivity and wireless in-flight digital entertainment solutions, has partnered with Magnolia Pictures to offer their movies to airline passengers through Gogo Vision.
The content will include pre-theatrical and theatrical release titles, which is said to be a first for Gogo.
Gogo Vision allows passengers to rent movies and television shows and stream them to their own Wi-Fi enabled devices. Passengers can select from a library of more than 100 programs from major Hollywood studios.

Renting videos through Gogo Vision starts at $3.99 for a movie and $.99 for a TV show. For passengers who don’t finish their program onboard the aircraft, Gogo Vision has a resumption of play feature.
It allows passengers to finish watching their program on the ground for a 24-hour period on the same device on which they rented the movie or television show.
