FLYHT Engages in Design Refresh with OEM Partner for Airbus Satcom Program

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd., a key player in the aerospace technology sector, has announced a new engagement with its longstanding OEM partner to carry out design and engineering work on satellite communication (satcom) technology used in Airbus aircraft. The collaboration aims to update the AFIRS™ 228S technology, ensuring the continued success and extension of the Airbus line fit satcom program managed by the two companies.

Through this partnership, FLYHT supplies a tailor-made version of the AFIRS™ 228S, enhancing voice and data communication in Airbus cockpits worldwide via the Iridium® satellite network. Gurjot Bhullar, FLYHT’s VP of Operations, remarked on the significance of this update as an indicator of the program's robustness and the OEM’s trust in FLYHT’s product quality.

The project is budgeted at approximately $360,000 USD, with completion expected in the upcoming months. It is a continuation of a fruitful relationship that began in 2014, leading to over 3,200 unit shipments to Airbus. This initiative not only strengthens FLYHT's relationship with its OEM partner and Airbus but also solidifies its position in providing advanced communications solutions in the aerospace industry.
