According to the Company, monitoring weather and staying connected is an integral part of the weather, be it local or transcontinental. The addition of these new Connect Service plans allows flight crews and passengers to utilize text and voice capabilities while helping the aircraft team make more strategic, weather-related decisions while flying. These plans also offer a far more economical path to incorporate other value-added services, like position and maintenance reporting, in an attempt to make customers fully realize their GSR 56 in the most affordable way.
The Company has introduced a new promotional rate plan delivering qualified customers with complimentary access to weather services for the first three months. Once the period expires, customers are automatically ignored in the Connext 150 Service plan. For customers who currently do not have the active service, this new incentive offers an even more cost-effective path to subscribing to the Connext weather and data service packages via the GSR 56.
Garmin has launched cost-effective rate plans applicable to a wide range of operators across the world. Voice calling and text messaging accompany worldwide weather data in three packages, namely:
Garmin Connext Weather 150 $79.99 monthly;
Garmin Connext Weather 400 $174.99 monthly; and
Garmin Connext Weather 800 (new rate plan) $249.99 monthly
Each plan from the Company is tailored to the number of hours a typical pilot operates throughout the year. Weather 150 is an ideal fit for customers that operate 150 hours or less per year and deliver worldwide weather updates at 10-minute intervals. The package also includes 30 minutes of voice per month and unlimited text messaging. Garmin's Aviation segment is a leading provider of solutions to OEM, aftermarket, military, and government customers. Garmin's portfolio includes navigation, communication, flight control, hazard avoidance, an expansive suite of ADS-B solutions, and other products and services.
