WAIVER OF CLAIMS, 

GENERAL RELEASE 

AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT 

This WAIVER OF CLAIMS, GENERAL RELEASE AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this
“Release”) is entered into on the date(s) indicated on the signature page hereto and is to confirm that on February 17, 2017 the undersigned submitted to Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) a notice
of resignation from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), such resignations to be effective February 20, 2017 (the “Termination Date”).
The Company’s Board accepted those resignations, and as such the undersigned’s at-will employment and directorship with the Company is terminated effective as of the Termination Date. Also effective
as of the Termination Date, by execution of this Release, the undersigned (“you” or “Executive”) hereby resigns from all other offices and directorships you hold with the Company and any of its subsidiaries. The
parties will also enter into a Consulting Agreement whereby the undersigned will render consulting and advisory services to the Company after the Termination Date. 

In consideration for the severance payments and other good and valuable consideration set forth in clause B. below and in Paragraph 9 hereof,
you hereby agree as follows: 
 A.    You hereby acknowledge that you were represented by an attorney of your choice in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Release. 
 B.    The Company will provide you with severance pay
pursuant to the terms of that certain Executive Employment Agreement by and between you and the Company dated as of July 9, 2014 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated April 12, 2015 and Amendment No. 2 dated March 10, 2016,
the “Employment Agreement”) (including Section 5(c) thereof) as if the termination of your employment with the Company is a termination “without Cause” thereunder; provided that the Company will pay you your
severance pay in a single lump sum within five (5) business days following the expiration of your non-revocation period in respect of this Release (as provided for in Section 3 hereof) without your
having revoked this Release, notwithstanding the payment timing provided for in the last sentence of Section 5(c) of your Employment Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement, the Company will also pay you an
amount equal to the “actual” full-year bonus (if any) under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (such Plan, the “AIP,” and such bonus, the “2016 Bonus”) that you would have earned for the 2016
performance year if you had remained employed on the payment date for such bonus, which amount will be paid to you, less all applicable withholding, on the date when bonuses for the 2016 performance year are paid to executives who remain employed
with the Company, which date shall in all events be no later than March 15, 2017. Your 2016 Bonus (if any) will be calculated using your current AIP bonus target percentage (i.e., 100% of annual base salary) and as otherwise provided for
under the AIP, except that it shall be calculated using only the “Company performance” components thereof and shall not be subject to or adjusted for any personal, discretionary or other adjustments or factors other than any across-the-board downward adjustments made for 2016 Bonuses to all members of the Company’s Executive Leadership Team. The final calculation and bonus determination
(including determinations of achievement of Company performance and other performance objectives) will be in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

provisions of any such law or regulation; provided, that in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law, or (vi) with respect to Executive’s right to receive an award from a Governmental Entity
for information provided under any whistleblower program. 

  
 2 

 (b)    You acknowledge that you have been informed by your attorneys of the
provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: 
 “A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 

In that regard, you hereby waive and relinquish all rights and benefits that you have or may have under Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code or any similar provision of the statutory or non-statutory law of any other jurisdiction to the full extent that you may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits. In connection with such waiver
and relinquishment, you acknowledge that you are aware that you may, on your own behalf or by and through your attorneys, hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that you now know or believe to exist with respect to
one or more of the parties released hereunder, but that it is your intention to finally settle and release all matters that now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed between you and all parties released hereunder. In furtherance of this
intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims or facts by you, your attorneys or any other person. 

2.    Non-Solicitation. In order to preserve and protect the goodwill and
value of the Company, Executive hereby agree as follows: 
 (a)    During the period beginning on the Termination Date,
and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Non-Solicitation Period”) Executive will not, either acting jointly or individually, induce or attempt to induce any
employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave such entity’s employ or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company or its affiliates or successors and any of their employees. 

(b)    The Company would suffer irreparable harm from a breach of the covenant contained in this
Section 2. In the event of an alleged or threatened breach by Executive of this Section 2, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to all other rights and remedies existing in its
favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving
actual damages, and the Non-Solicitation Period described above will be tolled with respect to Executive until such alleged breach or violation is resolved. Executive agrees that the restriction in this
Section 2 is a reasonable protection under the circumstances of the payment of the severance amounts set forth herein. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 2, a
court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, Executive agrees that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated
period, scope or area.

the 15-day revocation period has expired. Nothing herein is intended to, or shall, preclude you from filing a charge with any Governmental Entity and/or cooperating with said Governmental Entity in any
investigation. However, except as is otherwise explicitly provided in Paragraph 1(a), you hereby waive any right to file a personal lawsuit and/or receive monetary damages that the Governmental Entity may recover against each of the parties released
in Paragraph 1 above, without regard as to who brought any said complaint or charge. 
 4.    Confidentiality of this
Release. You agree that you shall keep the terms of this Release strictly confidential and not disclose, directly or indirectly, any information concerning them to any third party, with the exception of your spouse, financial or legal advisors;
provided, that they agree to keep such information confidential as set forth herein and not disclose it to others, and except as may be required by court order or legal process. Moreover, nothing in this Release shall prohibit or impede you

that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation; provided, that in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Executive does not need the prior authorization of (or to
give notice to) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. Executive understands and acknowledges that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a
trade secret that is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (b) in a complaint or other document
filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Executive understands and acknowledges further that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose
the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to
court order. 
 5.    Breach. You agree that all of the payments and benefits provided for in this Release are
subject to termination, reduction or cancellation in the event of your material breach of this Release. 

6.    Enforcement. The parties agree that any legal proceeding brought to enforce the provisions of this Release
may be brought only in the courts of the State of California or the federal courts located in California and each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.

 7.    Severability. If any of the terms of this Release shall be held
to be invalid and unenforceable and cannot be rewritten or interpreted by the court to be valid, enforceable and to meet the intent of the parties expressed herein, then the remaining terms of this Release are severable and shall not be affected
thereby. 
 8.    Miscellaneous. This Release and the Employment Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties about or relating to your termination of employment with the Company, or the Company’s obligations to you with respect to your termination and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the
parties. 
 9.    Representations, Covenants and Other Acknowledgements. You affirm that the only consideration
for signing this Release is described in clause B. to this Release and in this Paragraph 9, and that no other promises or agreements of any kind have been made to or with you by any person or entity whatsoever to cause you to sign this Release, and
that you fully understand the meaning and intent of this instrument. Subject to Paragraph 4, you agree that you will not disparage the Company in any way, nor will you make any public comments or communications which tend to cast the Company, its
owners, directors, officers or employees in a negative light. The Company will direct the members of its Board and of its Executive Leadership Team not to publicly disparage you or make any public comments or communications which tend to cast you in
a negative light. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, both you and the Company (and the members of its Board and of its Executive Leadership Team) may make truthful statements as required by law or legal process. The Company
will reimburse you for your outside legal fees (not to exceed $10,000 and subject to presentation of reasonable supporting documentation) incurred in connection with your consideration and negotiation of this Release. The parties acknowledge that
you and the Company are party to an Indemnity Agreement dated January 31, 2013 in respect of your service as an officer and director of the Company, and that the duration of such agreement shall continue in effect from and after the date hereof
in accordance with, but subject to, its terms. The Company will consider in good faith your comments and input on any press release and/or other public announcement in respect of your resignation from the Company, it being understood however that
the Company may make any public disclosure that it believes is required by law, regulation, legal process or stock-exchange standard. The Company acknowledges its obligation to reimburse you for any out-of-pocket business expenses that you properly incurred in the performance of your employment services prior to your Termination Date but which have not yet been processed by the Company, subject however
to your compliance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies. 
 10.    Section 409A. This
Release is intended to comply with exemptions to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. The payments to
Executive pursuant to this Release are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under either the separation pay exemption pursuant to Treasury Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or as short term deferrals
pursuant to Treasury Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). To the extent necessary to comply 

  
 5 

 
with an exemption from Section 409A of the Code, references to termination of employment (and similar phrases) in this Release shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the
terms “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations or other Internal Revenue Service guidance issued thereunder. 

You acknowledge that you have carefully read this Release, voluntarily agree to all of its terms and conditions, understand its contents and
the final and binding effect of this Release, and that you have signed the same as your own free act with the full intent of releasing the Company from all claims you may have against it.

 Exhibit 10.3 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated February 21, 2017 is by and between David M. Davis
(“Consultant”) and Global Eagle Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 

RECITALS 

A.    Consultant previously served as chief executive officer of the Company. 

B.    On February 20, 2017 (the “Separation Date”), Consultant’s employment with the
Company ended. 
 C.    The Company wishes to retain Consultant as an independent contractor to perform services
requested by the Company after the Separation Date, and Consultant wishes to perform the services requested by Company, with the work to be performed and the parties’ agreement to be governed by the following terms and conditions. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, each of the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agrees as follows: 
  

	 	1.    Engagement;	Term. 

 The Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant hereby agrees to serve as a
consultant to the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. In such capacity, Consultant shall provide the Company with such advisory and consulting services as are reasonably requested from time to time by the Company (but not to exceed
Consultant’s expertise based on his prior work experience) (the “Services”), and shall provide the Services primarily out of the Company’s Los Angeles headquarters but shall travel as reasonably requested by the
Company for purposes of rendering the Services. Consultant shall not have any authority to bind or obligate the Company with respect to third parties in any matter whatsoever, and shall not hold himself out as an employee of the Company in rendering
the Services. The period during which Consultant shall provide the Services shall begin on the date hereof and end on the three-month anniversary of the date hereof, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the following sentence (such term, as
so earlier terminated if applicable, the “Term”). Either party may terminate the Term earlier for any reason and at any time upon written notice, subject however to proviso in the first sentence of Section 2 hereof if
the Company terminates this Agreement without cause (as determined by the Company in good faith applying generally the same standards as those contained in the definition of “Cause” under the Employment Agreement (as defined below), as if
the Employment Agreement remained in effect). Consultant shall dedicate 100% of his available work time to providing Services to the Company during the Term. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the award agreements pursuant to which the Company granted such equity or in the Company’s
Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended), the Services hereunder shall constitute “employment,” “continuous employment” and “continued employment” for vesting purposes for any unvested equity of the
Company that Consultant holds on the Separation Date, such that vesting thereon shall continue for the duration of the Term as if Consultant had remained an employee of the Company during 

 
such period. It is further understood that for purposes of clause (b) of Section 5(c)(iii) of Consultant’s Executive Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of July 9, 2014
(as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated April 12, 2015 and Amendment No. 2 dated March 10, 2016, the “Employment Agreement”), Consultant shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the end of the
Term to exercise all vested options outstanding at the end of the Term (after giving effect to the first sentence of this paragraph), provided, however, that no such option will be exercisable following the applicable expiration date
of such option. 
 2.     Compensation and Expense Reimbursement. In sole consideration for the Services,
Consultant shall be paid a fee of $50,000.00 per month, in arrears each month, over the Term (the “Compensation”) (prorated for any partial month of Services); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company terminates the Term prior to the three-month anniversary of the date hereof without cause (as determined by the Company in good faith applying generally the same standards as those contained in the definition of “Cause” under the
Employment Agreement, as if the Employment Agreement remained in effect), then (i) the Company shall pay Consultant an amount equal to $150,000.00 within ten (10) business days following the end of the Term, less any fees previously paid
to Consultant hereunder, and (ii) for purposes of determining the vesting of any equity in paragraph 2 of Section 1 of this Agreement, the Term shall be deemed to continue until the three-month anniversary of the date hereof. In addition,
the Company will reimburse Consultant for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket travel and
out-of-town lodging expenses that Consultant properly incurs in the performance of the Services, subject to Consultant’s compliance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policies; provided that Consultant must submit a notice to the Company and receive prior written approval from the Company for any such expenses expected to exceed $2,500 individually or $5,000 in the aggregate. 

3.    Representations and Warranties. Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that (i) Consultant
has no obligations, legal or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with Consultant’s undertaking this relationship with the Company, (ii) the performance of the Services does not and will not violate any applicable
law, rule or regulation or any proprietary or other right of any third party and (iii) Consultant has not entered into and during the Term will not enter into any agreement (whether oral or written) in conflict with this Agreement. Consultant
hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, demands and actions, and any liabilities, damages or expenses resulting therefrom, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees,
arising out of or relating to a breach by Consultant of the foregoing representations. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement. 

4.    Independent Contractor Status. Consultant shall perform the Services as an independent contractor performing
“work for hire” and not as an agent or employee of the Company. Consultant shall not be entitled to any benefits or compensation from the Company for the Services except as set forth in this Agreement and shall in no event be entitled to
any fringe benefits payable to employees of the Company, except that (i) Consultant shall be entitled to continuation of health and welfare benefits as required under the Employment Agreement following a termination “without Cause”
thereunder and (ii) Consultant shall have access to a Company-provided office space at the Company’s Los Angeles headquarters as well as the use of a Company-owned vehicle when in Los Angeles providing Services hereunder. Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that it shall be Consultant’s sole obligation to report as self-employment income all compensation received by Consultant from the Company for the Services. Consultant agrees to fully indemnify the Company and hold it
harmless from any payment imposed on the Company in connection with any withholding taxes, social security, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items in connection with any payment made to Consultant by the Company for the Services. 

	 	5.    Confidential	Information. 

 (a)    “Confidential
Information” shall mean: (i) any confidential, non-public, or proprietary information concerning the business, operations or assets of the Company, its affiliates, shareholders, employees,
investors, vendors and customers, other than Excluded Information (as defined below), that has been or in the future is disclosed to Consultant (A) in writing, including, without limitation, as graphics or visual material, (B) in
electronic form, (C) by providing access (e.g., to a database or computer system), or (D) orally; and (ii) any information which may be developed or created from such information, including, without limitation, all copies,
notes, summaries, reports, analyses and other material or data generated by from any such information. 

(b)    Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available other than
as a result of acts by Consultant in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was rightfully in Consultant’s possession before disclosure by the Company or any of its affiliates prior to the commencement of the Term; or (iii) was disclosed to
Consultant by a third party prior to the commencement of the Term which Consultant has no reason to believe was bound by a confidentiality obligation. Any such Confidential Information described in this Section 6(b) shall constitute
“Excluded Information.” 
 (c)    Consultant shall use the Confidential Information solely for
the purpose of providing the Services. Consultant shall keep the Confidential Information confidential, shall not disclose to any person any of the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever, and use the same care and discretion to avoid
disclosure, publication, use or dissemination of the Confidential Information as Consultant uses with his own similar information that Consultant does not wish to disclose, publish, or disseminate, but in no case will Consultant use less than
reasonable care and discretion; provided that (i) Consultant may make any disclosure of information contained in the Confidential Information to which the Company gives its prior written consent and (ii) Consultant may make any
disclosure permitted by Section 5(e) hereof. The term “person” as used in this Agreement shall be broadly interpreted to include the media and any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 

(d)    Promptly upon the written request of the Company, but in any event promptly upon termination of the Services,
Consultant shall return to the Company all Confidential Information. All notes, summaries, reports, analyses and other material or data generated by Consultant from, or containing or reflecting any Confidential Information shall be returned to the
Company, and Consultant shall certify to the Company in writing as to the completeness of the same. 
 (e)    Nothing in
this Agreement shall prohibit or impede Consultant from communicating, cooperating or filing a complaint on possible violations of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation to or with any governmental agency or regulatory authority
(collectively, a “Governmental Entity”), or from making other disclosures to any Governmental Entity that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, provided that such
communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Consultant understands and acknowledges that (i) an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any U.S. federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure
of a trade secret 

 
that is made (A) in confidence to a U.S. federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or
(B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal, and (ii) an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may
disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal;and does not disclose the trade secret except
pursuant to court order. Consultant is not be required to give prior notice to (or get prior authorization from) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5(e) or under applicable law,
under no circumstance is Consultant authorized to disclose any information covered by the Company’s or its affiliates’ attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product privilege, or the Company’s trade secrets, without the prior
written consent of the Company. 
 (f)    In order to preserve and protect the Company’s Confidential Information,
Consultant hereby agree as follows: 
 (i)    During the Term, Executive will not, either directly or
indirectly, participate in any Restricted Business. For purposes of this Agreement: (A) the term “Participate” means to have any direct or indirect interest, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole
proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, owner or otherwise, provided that the term “Participate” shall not include ownership of less than two percent (2%) of a class of stock
of a publicly-held corporation which is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, so long as the Company or such Consultant does not
have any active participation in the business or management of such entity; and (B) the term “Restricted Business” means any enterprise, business or venture anywhere within the United States of America and/or any other
geographic areas in which the Company transacted business within the twelve (12) month period prior to the termination of the Term, which is active in the provisioning of content and/or connectivity solutions and services for mobility markets.

 (ii)    During the Term and thereafter until the first (1st) anniversary of the termination of the
Term, Consultant will not, either acting jointly or individually, induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave such entity’s employ or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company
or its affiliates or successors and any of their employees. 
 (iii)    During the Term, Consultant will
not, either acting jointly or individually, induce or attempt to induce any supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, customer or other business relation of the Business (“Customer or Business Relation”) to cease doing
business with the Company or any of its affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between any member of the Company or any such Customer or Business Relation. Following the Term, Consultant will not, either acting jointly or
individually, use any Confidential Information to induce or attempt to induce any Customer or Business Relation to cease doing business with the Company or any of its affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between any member of the
Company or any such Customer or Business Relation. 

 (iv)    The Company would suffer irreparable harm from a
breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 5(f). In the event of an alleged or threatened breach by Consultant of any of the provisions of this Section 5(f), the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to
all other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without
the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages, and the time periods described above will be tolled with respect to Consultant until such alleged breach or violation is resolved. The Consultant agrees that the restrictions in this
Section 5(f) are reasonable protections under the circumstances of this Agreement, including the payment of the fees set forth herein. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 5(f), a court holds that the restrictions
stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the Consultant agrees that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. 

(g)    Consultant’s confidentiality obligations in this Section 5 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
other such contractual, legal, fiduciary or restrictive-covenant obligations by which Consultant was bound during his employment and service as a director of the Company or entered into in respect of the termination thereof. 

 

	 	6.	General. 

 (a)    This Agreement constitutes the full and entire
understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the consulting and advisory services engagement of the Consultant and replaces any previous agreement and/or communications between the parties, whether written or oral, relating
thereto and may be amended or waived only by a written instrument executed by both parties. 
 (b)    No failure, delay
or forbearance of either party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall in any way restrict or diminish such party’s rights and powers under this Agreement or operate as a waiver of any breach.
