Eagle-1 [ edit ]
In January 2017, the AMC-3 Ku-band payload was sold to Global Eagle Entertainment (GEE), a provider of satellite-based connectivity and media to mobility markets, such as passenger aircraft. GEE purchased all the capacity on the satellite to support aeronautical customers, in particular Southwest Airlines , the company's largest customer, and rebranded the satellite as Eagle-1. The satellite remains under the control of SES S.A.[7]
