Tech companies have seen a mixed reaction to IPOs in 2011.

LinkedIn and Pandora both surged following launches on the stock exchange earlier this year, but the more recent floatation of games maker Zynga drew a more muted response despite its proven profitability.

Gogo is presently available in 1,177 commercial planes.

This compares with just 30 planes in 2008, with the Itasca, Illinois-based company having signed contracts to offer internet connectivity on over 500 additional planes.

The company doubled revenue for the first nine months of this year to $72.9 million, swinging to a profit of $2.4 million.
