Hughes has announced that AJet has chosen the TCI Integrated In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) solution, with satellite connectivity provided by Turksat and equipment and advanced IFC management capabilities supplied by Hughes. This collaboration will offer high-value, innovative Wi-Fi services to passengers across AJet’s fleet of over 120 aircraft.

“Hughes is proud to partner with TCI and Turksat to enable AJet IFC solutions fleet-wide,” said 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.”

“As TCI, we are proud to be part of this groundbreaking partnership,” stated Müjdat ULUDAĞ, General Manager TCI Aircraft Interiors. “By integrating our aviation interiors prowess with the innovative Hughes solutions, we are setting a new standard for in-flight connectivity.”

Hasan Hüseyin ERTOK, CEO of Turksat, commented: “Turksat is excited to collaborate with TCI and Hughes to deliver cutting-edge in-flight connectivity for AJet passengers. Our satellite capabilities, combined with the innovations from Hughes, will ensure an exceptional Wi-Fi experience in the skies.”

AJet joins a growing list of airlines turning to Hughes for enhanced in-flight connectivity. In November 2023, Delta Air Lines selected Hughes to power passenger Wi-Fi services on more than 400 Boeing 717 and regional jets serving North America.

This partnership is set to transform the connectivity experience for AJet customers, providing them with reliable and exceptional in-flight Wi-Fi.
