Gogo by the numbers: Scaling airline Internet

Gogo, the in-flight connectivity company, plans to scale its hybrid ground-to-orbit technology, expand internationally and deliver more revenue per aircraft in 2014.

The 2014 outlook, which calls for revenue of $400 million to $422 million, highlights how Gogo is gaining traction beyond the U.S. and venturing into faster broadband service that will allow for streaming video. The lack of streaming via Gogo on a flight can be an annoyance for travelers.

For the fourth quarter, Gogo reported a net loss of $22 million, or 26 cents a share, on revenue of $92.55 million. For 2013, Gogo reported a net loss of $145.85 million, or $3.05 a share, on revenue of $328.12 million.

Clearly, Gogo is in buildout mode. At some point, Gogo will have most airlines cover, have a locked-in customer base and be able to collect service revenue for a long time. For now, Gogo needs to expand.

Here's a look at the company by the numbers:

• $3 million to $5 million: Revenue Gogo expects in 2014 from international flights from carriers like Japan Airlines and Delta.
