Turkish low-cost airline, AJet (a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, rebranded from AnadoluJet in March 2024), has selected the TCI Integrated In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) system, to make passenger wi-fi services available on more than 120 of its aircraft. The deal sees Turksat provide the satellite connectivity element, while Hughes Network Systems (Hughes) will provide the equipment and advanced IFC management capabilities.
“By integrating our aviation interiors prowess with the innovative Hughes solutions, we are setting a new standard for in-flight connectivity,” stated Müjdat Uludağ, general manager at TCI Aircraft Interiors.
“Hughes is proud to partner with TCI and Turksat to enable AJet IFC solutions fleet-wide,” added Reza Rasoulian, senior vice president of the aviation business unit at Hughes. “This powerful partnership underscores our commitment to delivering fast, reliable connectivity to AJet and the aviation industry. With TCI’s advanced aviation engineering and integration capabilities and Turksat’s outstanding satellite capabilities, AJet passengers will have an exceptional IFC experience.”
Hughes is enjoying strong sales. In November 2023, Delta Air Lines selected Hughes to power its passenger wi-fi services on more than 400 of its Boeing 717s and regional jets serving North America .
