<h2 id="eagle-1">Eagle-1</h2>
<p>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 <a href="/facts/Southwest_Airlines/3DYx15Id">Southwest Airlines</a>, the company's largest customer, and rebranded the satellite as Eagle-1. The satellite remains under the control of SES S.A.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a>
