Global Eagle Entertainment Inc.

Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: ENT) emerged from Global Eagle Acquisition Corp., a SPAC that went public in 2011 and was co-sponsored by media veterans Harry Sloan and Jeff Sagansky.

The combined entity operated as a provider of in-flight entertainment, connectivity, and media services to airlines worldwide. The company subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2019.
