Basis of Presentation	3 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation	Mar. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation *The Business—Gogo Inc. (“we, us, our,” etc.) is a holding company, which through its operating subsidiaries is a provider of in-flight connectivity and wireless in-cabin digital entertainment solutions. We operate through the following three segments: Commercial Aviation North America or “CA-NA,” Commercial Aviation Rest of World or “CA-ROW” and Business Aviation or “BA”. Our CA-NA business provides “Gogo^®” branded in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to commercial airline passengers flying routes that generally begin and end within North America, which for this purpose includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our CA-ROW business, which was established to provide in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to passengers flying on foreign-based commercial airlines and international flights of North American based commercial airlines, is in the start-up phase as we launched commercial international connectivity service in March 2014. The routes included in our CA-ROW segment are those that begin and/or end outside of North America (as defined above) for which our international service will be provided. Our BA business sells equipment for in-flight connectivity and telecommunications and provides in-flight internet connectivity and other voice and data communications services to the business aviation market. BA services include Gogo Biz, our in-flight broadband service that utilizes both our air-to-ground (“ATG”) network and our ATG spectrum, and satellite-based voice and data services through our strategic alliances with satellite companies. 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. 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, 2013 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2014 (the “2013 10-K”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally 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 month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. As described in Note 3, “Common Stock and Preferred Stock” in our 2013 10-K, prior to our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on June 21, 2013 we had three classes of preferred stock outstanding all of which converted into an aggregate 66,235,473 shares common stock upon the consummation of the IPO. The liquidation preference associated with our Class A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock provided for a minimum return upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, such as an IPO. The additional common shares issued in connection with such minimum return upon the consummation of the IPO are included in the number of common shares above into which the preferred stock converted. Subsequent to the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock, we did not incur any preferred stock return or accretion of preferred stock. We priced the IPO of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock at $17 per share. Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 21, 2013. We have one class of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 at 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 on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Reclassifications*—In order to conform to the current year presentation, certain amounts in our 2013 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified. Specifically, other non-current assets of ($688) and other non-current liabilities of $93 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 have been combined into other non-current assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, deferred rent of $8 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 has been combined into accrued liabilities, and non-current deferred rent of $(37) for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 has been combined into other non-current assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

2. Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share have been calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Prior to our IPO, the three classes of then outstanding preferred stock were all considered participating securities requiring the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. In periods of a net loss attributable to common stock, the three classes of preferred stock were excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share either due to the fact that they were not required to fund losses or because the redemption amount was not reduced as a result of losses.

As a result of the net loss for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, for the periods where such shares or securities were outstanding, all of the outstanding shares of common stock underlying stock options, AC Management LLC (“ACM”) Units, deferred stock units, restricted stock units and preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013; however, because of the undistributed losses the three classes of our pre-IPO preferred stock are excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share in 2013 as undistributed losses are not allocated to preferred shares (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

3. Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of telecommunications systems and parts, and are recorded at the lower of cost (average cost) or market. We evaluate the need for write-downs associated with obsolete, slow-moving, and nonsalable inventory by reviewing net realizable inventory values on a periodic basis.

Inventories as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of which were included within the BA segment, were as follows (in thousands):


	March 31,		December 31,

Finished goods		4,613		3,500

	$	11,693	$	13,646

- Definition

The entire disclosure for inventory. This may include, but is not limited to, the basis of stating inventory, the method of determining inventory cost, the major classes of inventory, and the nature of the cost elements included in inventory. If inventory is stated above cost, accrued net losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory and losses resulting from valuing inventory at the lower-of-cost-or-market may also be included. For LIFO inventory, may disclose the amount and basis for determining the excess of replacement or current cost over stated LIFO value and the effects of a LIFO quantities liquidation that impacts net income.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Intangible Assets

5. Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets are comprised of both indefinite- and finite-lived intangible assets. Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are not amortized, but 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 tests of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. We reevaluate the useful life of the indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. The results of our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill impairment assessments in the fourth quarter of 2013 indicated no impairment.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our goodwill balance, all of which related to our BA segment, was $0.6 million.

Our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands, except for weighted average remaining useful life):

Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities

7. Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities

Senior Debt—As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had $239.3 million and $240.8 million, respectively, outstanding under a five-year term loan that matures on June 21, 2017 (the “Amended Senior Term Facility”). The terms of the Amended Senior Term Facility are set forth in a Credit Agreement dated as of June 21, 2012, and amended on April 4, 2013, among Gogo Intermediate Holdings LLC, Aircell Business Aviation Services LLC, and Gogo LLC, as borrowers, the lenders named therein, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. See Note 9 “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities,” in our 2013 10-K for additional information on our Amended Senior Term Facility.

As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the cash balance, reporting and notice requirements of the Amended Senior Term Facility and no event of default had occurred.

Under the Amended Senior Term Facility, principal payments of $1.6 million are due on the last day of each calendar quarter through March 31, 2017, with the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan due and payable at maturity on June 21, 2017.

As of March 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Amended Senior Term Facility was 11.25% and all loans were outstanding as three month LIBOR loans.

We paid $19.6 million of loan origination fees and financing costs related to the Amended Senior Term Facility, all but $3.0 million of which have been accounted for as deferred financing costs. The $3.0 million of fees that were not accounted for as deferred financing costs were fees incurred but not paid directly to the lenders in connection with the amendment in April 2013 and were expensed to interest expense. See Note 8, “Interest Costs,” for additional details. Total amortization expense of the deferred financing costs was $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expense is included in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Amended Senior Term Facility was $12.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively, which was included as a separate line in our consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2014, the mandatory principal payments under the Amended Senior Term Facility for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Alaska Financing—On November 2, 2010, we entered into a $4.1 million standby credit facility agreement (the “Alaska Facility”) with Alaska Airlines, Inc. (“Alaska Airlines”) to finance the construction of ATG network sites in Alaska. The Alaska Facility has a six-year term and an interest rate of 10% per annum, compounded and payable quarterly. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, outstanding under the Alaska Facility. No further draws can be made under the Alaska Facility and principal amounts outstanding are payable in quarterly installments over a five-year period commencing on November 12, 2011, or can be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty at our option. The Alaska Facility is secured by a first-priority interest in our cell tower leases and other personal property located at the cell sites in Alaska.

Pursuant to our equipment and revenue agreement with Alaska Airlines, the share of service revenue (“revenue share”) we pay Alaska Airlines increases as long as any amounts are outstanding under the Alaska Facility. Alaska Airlines revenue share increases by 300 basis points for service revenue generated on flights that use the ATG network in Alaska, until the principal and all accrued interest is paid in full. This revenue share was less than $0.1 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as part of our interest expense.

Principal payments under the Alaska Facility in each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Letters of Credit—We maintain several letters of credit totaling $7.9 million and $5.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Certain of the letters of credit require us to maintain restricted cash accounts in a similar amount, and are issued for the benefit of the landlords at our current office locations in Itasca, Illinois; Bensenville, Illinois; Broomfield, Colorado; our future office location in Chicago, Illinois; and our future location in Broomfield, Colorado.

Arrangements with Commercial Airlines—Pursuant to contractual agreements with our airline partners, we place our equipment on commercial aircraft operated by the airlines for the purpose of delivering the Gogo^® service to passengers on the aircraft. We are generally responsible for the costs of installing and deinstalling the equipment. Under one type of connectivity agreement we maintain legal title to our equipment; however, under a second type of connectivity agreement some of our airline partners make an upfront payment and take legal title to such equipment. The majority of the equipment transactions where legal title transfers are not deemed to be sales transactions for accounting purposes because the risks and rewards of ownership are not fully transferred due to our continuing involvement with the equipment, the length of the term of our agreements with the airlines and restrictions in the agreements regarding the airlines’ use of the equipment. We account for these equipment transactions as operating leases of space for our equipment on the aircraft. The assets are recorded as airborne equipment on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, as noted in Note 4, “Composition of Certain Balance Sheet Accounts.” Any upfront equipment payments are accounted for as a lease incentive and recorded as deferred airborne lease incentives on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recognized as a reduction of the cost of service revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement with the airline. We recognized $2.6 million and $1.6 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as a reduction to our cost of service revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2014, deferred airborne lease incentives of $10.0 million and $58.1 million are included in current and non-current liabilities, respectively, in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2013, deferred airborne lease incentives of $9.0 million and $53.0 million are included in current and non-current liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The revenue share paid to the airlines represents an operating lease payment and is deemed to be contingent rental payments, as the payments due to each airline are based on a percentage of our CA-NA service revenue generated from that airline’s passengers, which is unknown until realized. As such, we cannot estimate the lease payments due to an airline at the commencement of our contract with such airline. Rental expense related to the arrangements with commercial airlines included in cost of service revenue is primarily comprised of these revenue share payments offset by the amortization of the deferred airborne lease incentives discussed above. Such rental expenses totaled a net charge of $9.9 million and $7.1 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

One contract with one of our airline partners requires us to provide our airline partner with a cash rebate of $1.8 million in June 2014 and, if our service is available on a specified number of aircraft in such airline partner’s fleet on the preceding December 31, in June of each year from 2015 through 2023.

Leases and Cell Site Contracts—We have lease agreements relating to certain facilities and equipment, which are considered operating leases. Rent expense for such operating leases was $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, we have operating leases with wireless service providers for tower space and base station capacity on a volume usage basis (“cell site leases”), some of which provide for minimum annual payments. Our cell site leases generally provide for an initial noncancelable term of up to five years with up to four five-year renewal options. Total cell site rental expense was $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Annual future minimum obligations for operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, other than the arrangements we have with our commercial airline partners, as of March 31, 2014, are as follows (in thousands):

Equipment Leases—We lease certain computer and network equipment under capital leases, for which interest has been imputed with an annual interest rates that range from 5.9% to 13.4%. As of March 31, 2014 the computer equipment leases were classified as part of office equipment, furniture, and fixtures in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at a gross cost of $1.3 million. As of March 31, 2014 the network equipment leases were classified as part of network equipment in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at a gross cost of $5.2 million.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	10. Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Commitments—We have an agreement with one of our airborne equipment vendors that committed us to purchase $31.6 million in satellite based antenna and radome systems as of March 31, 2014, of which $12.4 million of equipment remains to be shipped to us. We have agreements with two primary vendors to provide us with transponder and teleport satellite services. These agreements vary in length and amount and commit us to purchase transponder and teleport satellite services totaling approximately $20.9 million in 2014 (April through December), $32.8 million in 2015, $33.1 million in 2016, $31.7 million in 2017, $15.6 million in 2018 and an amount less than $0.1 million in 2019. Damages and Penalties—Certain of our agreements with our airline partners may require us to incur additional obligations as a result of the occurrence of specified events, some of which may be out of our control. One contract covering the international fleet of one of our airline partners requires us to provide a credit or refund of up to $25 million to our airline partner if a competing airline installs satellite connectivity systems on a certain number of aircraft in its international fleet more quickly than we install our system on the same number of aircraft in our airline partner’s international fleet. The refund or credit will be eliminated in its entirety if we complete full installation of our airline partner’s international fleet by January 1, 2015, which date may be extended by up to six months as a result of certain excusable delays, and has been and will continue to be reduced proportionately from the maximum amount for every installation that we complete before the competitor achieves the target. The amount of any such refund or credit depends on a number of facts and circumstances, such as the pace at which we install satellite systems on aircraft delivered to us by our airline partner, as well as some that are not under our control, including, but not limited to, the number of installable aircraft made available to us from our airline partner’s international fleet, our competitor’s ability to install an equal or greater quantity of satellite systems on such competing airline’s international fleet and any current or future regulatory delays to the extent they are not excusable delays. Any refund or credit may only be applied toward the purchase of equipment or for a refund of amounts paid by the airline for previously purchased equipment. This contract also obligates us to pay our airline partner one-time liquidated damages in the range of $1 million to $5 million if we fail to obtain certain regulatory approvals related to the provision of satellite-based services by specified deadlines. One contract with another of our airline partners obligates us to pay our airline partner up to $6 million in penalties and installation and other costs if we fail to receive certain regulatory approvals or fail to begin the installation of equipment related to the provision of satellite-based service by specified deadlines. We have entered into a number of agreements with our airline partners that require us to provide a credit or pay liquidated damages to our airline partners on a per aircraft, per day or per hour basis if we are unable to install our equipment on aircraft by specified timelines. The maximum amount of future credits or payments we could be required to make under these agreements is uncertain because the amount of future credits or payments is based on certain variable inputs, including the number of aircraft that are not installed on schedule, the length of time by which the installation is delayed, and the unit of time by which the delay is measured. Indemnifications and Guarantees—In accordance with Delaware law, we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under this indemnification is uncertain and may be unlimited, depending upon circumstances. However, our Directors’ and Officers’ insurance does provide coverage for certain of these losses. In the ordinary course of business we may occasionally enter into agreements pursuant to which we may be obligated to pay for the failure of performance of others, such as the use of corporate credit cards issued to employees. Based on historical experience, we believe that any material loss related to such guarantees is remote. We have entered into a number of agreements, including our agreements with commercial airlines, pursuant to which we indemnify the other party for losses and expenses suffered or incurred in connection with any patent, copyright, or trademark infringement or misappropriation claim asserted by a third party with respect to our equipment or services. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is uncertain and is typically not limited by the terms of the agreements. Innovatio IP Ventures, LLC Litigation—In May 2012, Innovatio IP Ventures, LLC filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against a number of defendants, including Delta Airlines and AirTran Airways, for alleged infringement of several patents in the field of wireless local area networking. AirTran and Delta have requested indemnification from us and under our contracts we are required to indemnify these airlines for defense costs and any damages arising from such litigation to the extent it relates to Gogo technology or services. We intend to seek indemnification, in turn, from certain of our equipment vendors. We have not accrued any liability related to this matter because, due to the early stage of the litigation, the strength of our defenses and a range of possible loss, if any, cannot be determined. The outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and may have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Stewart Litigation—On October 4, 2012, James Stewart filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of putative classes of national purchasers and a subclass of California purchasers of our service, alleging claims for monopolization and exclusive dealing under the federal antitrust laws and California state antitrust and unfair practices laws related to the Gogo service offered through our domestic commercial airline partners. In February 2014, the court denied our motion to dismiss the suit. We have not accrued any liability related to this matter because, due to the early stage of the litigation, the strength of our defenses and a range of possible loss, if any, cannot be determined. Based on currently available information, we believe that we have strong defenses and intend to continue to defend this lawsuit vigorously, but the outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Go Go Techs, Inc. Litigation—On February 12, 2014, Go Go Techs, Inc. filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the Central District of California for alleged infringement of common law trademarks and alleged violations of federal and state unfair competition and other laws. The plaintiff seeks cancellation of our trademark registration for the mark “Gogo” as well as unspecified damages and injunctive relief. We have not accrued any liability related to this matter because, due to the early stage of the litigation, the strength of our defenses and a range of possible loss, if any, cannot be determined. Based on currently available information, we believe we have strong defenses and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously, but the outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Carucel Investments, LP Litigation—On February 13, 2014, Carucel Investments, LP filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging infringement of several patents in the field of mobile communication systems and seeking unspecified damages and injunctive relief. We have not yet been served with process in this matter. We have not accrued any liability related to this matter because, due to the early stage of the litigation, the strength of our defenses and a range of possible loss, if any, cannot be determined. Based on currently available information, we believe we have strong defenses and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously, but the outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Berkson Litigation—On February 25, 2014, Adam Berkson filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, on behalf of putative classes of national purchasers and a subclass of New York purchasers of our connectivity service, alleging claims that we violated New York and other consumer protection laws, as well as an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, by misleading consumers about recurring charges for our service. The suit seeks unspecified damages. We have not accrued any liability related to this matter because, due to the early stage of the litigation, the strength of our defenses and a range of possible loss, if any, cannot be determined. Based on currently available information, we believe we have strong defenses and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously, but the outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Airfone Acquisition—As disclosed in Note 7 “Airfone Acquisition” in our 2013 10-K, in connection with our acquisition from LiveTV, LLC (“LiveTV”) of LiveTV Airfone, LLC (“Airfone”) we determined that Airfone failed to remit to the Universal Services Administration Company (“USAC”) certain FCC-mandated Federal Universal Service Fund (“FUSF”) fees. We therefore have caused Airfone to correct its past filings and to remit to USAC approximately $1.1 million in FUSF and related fees covering the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2012. We expect that an additional $0.1 million covering the period from January 1, 2013 through April 10, 2013 will be paid to USAC in 2014. We also determined that Airfone billed its customers for FUSF fees in amounts that exceed the total amount remitted or owed to USAC. Due to the difference between the total amounts collected and the amounts that have been or will be remitted to USAC, Airfone also owes refunds to its customers. We believe that the aggregate amount of any liability to Airfone customers for the period from January 1, 2008 through April 10, 2013 is approximately $2.5 million. In addition, Airfone may be subject to enforcement action by the FCC in connection with the delayed payments to USAC, which could result in, among other things, interest payments, penalties and fines. We have worked with LiveTV to determine the amounts due to USAC and Airfone’s customers and have recorded an accrual and a related receivable from LiveTV for our best estimate of the potential liability related to these matters. In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, LiveTV has and is expected to continue to reimburse us for any amounts due to USAC and Airfone’s customers which we pay, and to indemnify us for any additional amounts due to Airfone’s customers, USAC, interest, penalties and fines for which Airfone may be liable.

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 in active markets;

•

Level 2—defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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.

Long-Term Debt:

Our financial assets and liabilities that are disclosed but not measured at fair value include the Amended Senior Term Facility and the Alaska Facility, both of which are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at cost, as defined in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities”. Based on market conditions as of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the Amended Senior Term Facility was approximately $258 million and the fair value of the Alaska Facility approximated its carrying value of $1.4 million (see Note 7, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities”). These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market including interest rates on recent financings by entities with credit profiles similar to ours. We estimated the fair values of the Amended Senior Term Facility and the Alaska Facility by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume these obligations. The upfront cash payment, excluding any issuance costs, is the amount that a market participant would be able to lend at March 31, 2014 to an entity with a credit rating similar to ours and achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the scheduled cash outflows under the Amended Senior Term Facility and the Alaska Facility.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	12. Income Tax The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were (1.6%) and (1.9%), respectively. Income tax expense recorded in each period was similar, with differences in pre-tax income causing the change in the effective tax rate. The difference between our effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets which is excluded from taxable income (loss). We are subject to taxation in the United States, Canada, various other countries and various states. With few exceptions, as of March 31, 2014, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, foreign or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. No penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions were recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, we did not have a liability recorded for interest or potential penalties. We do not expect a change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. On September 13, 2013, the IRS issued final regulations and re-proposed regulations that provide guidance with respect to (i) the treatment of material and supplies, (ii) capitalization of amounts paid to acquire or produce tangible property, (iii) the determination of whether an expenditure with respect to tangible property is a deductible repair or a capital expenditure and (iv) dispositions of MACRS property. The final regulations will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. We are reviewing the regulations, but we do not believe there will be a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments and Major Customers

13. Business Segments and Major Customers

We operate our business through three operating segments: Commercial Aviation North America, or “CA-NA”, Commercial Aviation Rest of World, or “CA-ROW” and Business Aviation, or “BA”.

CA-NA Segment: Our CA-NA segment provides in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to commercial airline passengers flying routes that generally begin and end within North America, which for this purpose includes the continental United States (including Alaska), Canada and Mexico.

CA-ROW Segment: Our CA-ROW business, which was established to provide in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to passengers flying on foreign-based commercial airlines and international flights of North American based commercial airlines, is in the start-up phase as we launched commercial international connectivity service in March 2014. The routes included in our CA-ROW segment are those that begin and/or end outside of North America (as defined above) for which our international service will be provided.

BA Segment: Our BA business provides equipment for in-flight connectivity along with voice and data services to the business aviation market. BA services include Gogo Biz, our in-flight broadband service that utilizes both our ATG network and our ATG spectrum, and satellite-based voice and data services through strategic alliances with satellite companies. Customers include business aircraft manufacturers, owners, and operators, as well as government and military entities.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our 2013 10-K. Transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. There are no revenue transactions between segments. We currently do not generate a significant amount of foreign revenue. We do not segregate assets between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has not been presented.

Management evaluates performance and allocates resources to each segment based on segment profit (loss), which is calculated internally as net income (loss) attributable to common stock before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-cash charges (including amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives, stock compensation expense, write off of deferred equity financing costs, and, for periods prior to the IPO, Class A and Class B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock return, and accretion of preferred stock). Segment profit (loss) is a measure of performance reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and evaluating segment performance. In addition, segment profit (loss) is included herein in conformity with ASC 280-10,Segment Reporting. Management believes that segment profit (loss) provides useful information for analyzing and evaluating the underlying operating results of each segment. However, segment profit (loss) should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to common stock or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our computation of segment profit (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies.

Canadian ATG Spectrum License

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2014

Text Block [Abstract]

Canadian ATG Spectrum License

16. Canadian ATG Spectrum License

On July 17, 2012, Industry Canada issued to our Canadian subsidiary a subordinate license that allows us to use the Canadian ATG spectrum of which SkySurf Canada Communications Inc. (“SkySurf”) is the primary licensee. On July 24, 2012 we entered into a subordinate license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with SkySurf and on August 14, 2012 the agreement commenced. The License Agreement supersedes the spectrum manager lease agreement (the “Spectrum Agreement”) that we entered into with SkySurf on July 27, 2011. The License Agreement provides for our exclusive rights to use SkySurf’s ATG spectrum licenses in Canada. The License Agreement has an initial term of ten years commencing on August 14, 2012 and, provided that the primary spectrum license agreement issued by Industry Canada to SkySurf remains in effect, is renewable at our option for an additional ten-year term following the initial expiration and thereafter for a further five-year term. We made a one-time payment of C$3.3 million, which was equivalent to approximately U.S. $3.3 million (“one-time payment”). The renewal of the primary spectrum license will depend upon the satisfaction by Gogo and SkySurf of certain conditions set forth in the license, including, without limitation, a network build-out requirement. The term of the License Agreement, including the initial ten-year term and any renewals, is contingent on the effectiveness and renewal of the primary spectrum license issued by Industry Canada to SkySurf on June 30, 2009, which expires on June 29, 2019. We pay SkySurf C$0.1 million, which is equivalent to U.S. $0.1 million, monthly during the initial ten-year term of the License Agreement. Additionally, we make variable monthly payments based on the number of cell sites in Canada and the number of Canadian-domiciled commercial aircraft on which we provide our service.

As the License Agreement is for our exclusive use of a license, which is considered a right to use an intangible asset and thus not property, plant, or equipment, the agreement is not considered a lease for accounting purposes. As such, we recorded the SkySurf one-time payment as an asset in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at the time of payment. As of March 31, 2014, the one-time payment had balances of $0.1 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.6 million included in other non-current assets, respectively, in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The one-time payment is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the agreement of 25-years. Amortization expense for the one-time payment for each of the next five years and thereafter is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):


Years ending December 31,	SkySurf Amortization
2014 (period from April 1 to December 31)	$	88
2015	$	118
2016	$	118
2017	$	118
2018	$	118
Thereafter	$	2,186

Amortization expense totaled less than $0.1 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The monthly payments are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $0.2 million during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Business—Gogo Inc. (“we, us, our,” etc.) is a holding company, which through its operating subsidiaries is a provider of in-flight connectivity and wireless in-cabin digital entertainment solutions. We operate through the following three segments: Commercial Aviation North America or “CA-NA,” Commercial Aviation Rest of World or “CA-ROW” and Business Aviation or “BA”. Our CA-NA business provides “Gogo^®” branded in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to commercial airline passengers flying routes that generally begin and end within North America, which for this purpose includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our CA-ROW business, which was established to provide in-flight connectivity and wireless digital entertainment solutions to passengers flying on foreign-based commercial airlines and international flights of North American based commercial airlines, is in the start-up phase as we launched commercial international connectivity service in March 2014. The routes included in our CA-ROW segment are those that begin and/or end outside of North America (as defined above) for which our international service will be provided. Our BA business sells equipment for in-flight connectivity and telecommunications and provides in-flight internet connectivity and other voice and data communications services to the business aviation market. BA services include Gogo Biz, our in-flight broadband service that utilizes both our air-to-ground (“ATG”) network and our ATG spectrum, and satellite-based voice and data services through our strategic alliances with satellite companies. *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. 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, 2013 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2014 (the “2013 10-K”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally 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 month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. As described in Note 3, “Common Stock and Preferred Stock” in our 2013 10-K, prior to our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on June 21, 2013 we had three classes of preferred stock outstanding all of which converted into an aggregate 66,235,473 shares common stock upon the consummation of the IPO. The liquidation preference associated with our Class A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock provided for a minimum return upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, such as an IPO. The additional common shares issued in connection with such minimum return upon the consummation of the IPO are included in the number of common shares above into which the preferred stock converted. Subsequent to the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock, we did not incur any preferred stock return or accretion of preferred stock. We priced the IPO of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock at $17 per share. Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 21, 2013. We have one class of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
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 at 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 on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications	*Reclassifications*—In order to conform to the current year presentation, certain amounts in our 2013 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified. Specifically, other non-current assets of ($688) and other non-current liabilities of $93 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 have been combined into other non-current assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, deferred rent of $8 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 has been combined into accrued liabilities, and non-current deferred rent of $(37) for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 has been combined into other non-current assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Earnings Per Share	Basic and diluted net loss per share have been calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Prior to our IPO, the three classes of then outstanding preferred stock were all considered participating securities requiring the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. In periods of a net loss attributable to common stock, the three classes of preferred stock were excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share either due to the fact that they were not required to fund losses or because the redemption amount was not reduced as a result of losses. As a result of the net loss for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, for the periods where such shares or securities were outstanding, all of the outstanding shares of common stock underlying stock options, AC Management LLC (“ACM”) Units, deferred stock units, restricted stock units and preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-dilutive.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for computing basic and diluted earnings or loss per share for each class of common stock and participating security. Addresses all significant policy factors, including any antidilutive items that have been excluded from the computation and takes into account stock dividends, splits and reverse splits that occur after the balance sheet date of the latest reporting period but before the issuance of the financial statements.
