Anuvu, the supplier of entertainment solutions for mobility markets and high-speed inflight connectivity, has completed the installation of its Airconnect inflight connectivity system on over 100 Turkish Airlines’ Airbus A321 and Boeing B737NG narrow-body aircraft.
The solution integrates Anuvu’s Ku-band network, Airconnect system, and Airtime portal with Turkish Technic’s servers and wireless access points as well as Profen’s Türkiye-based terrestrial infrastructure, for a best-in-class experience on both international and domestic flights.
“With Anuvu’s Airtime portal, Turkish Airlines’ passengers can now easily and quickly connect their devices through our simple activation process. The portal validates Wi-Fi with business class and Miles&Smiles loyalty passengers, processes payment in local currency and complies with local ISP regulations, creating a great onboard experience,” said Mike Pigott, Executive Vice President – Connectivity, at Anuvu.
“Installing over 100 Airconnect systems is a great milestone and I’m proud of the dedication of our team in reaching this goal. Through our collaborative partnerships, we deliver a reliable and high-performing service, raising the standard for inflight connectivity through continuous innovation,” continued Pigott.
Anuvu’s Airconnect system, which is installed on more than 1,000 aircraft worldwide, provides global, high-speed connectivity that allows passengers to browse, work, scroll, message and stay connected with their loved ones.
Levent Konukcu, Chief Investment and Strategy Officer, Turkish Airlines said: “As Turkish Airlines, the global airline having the most comprehensive worldwide reach capability, we ensure our passengers enjoy an enhanced inflight experience, including top-quality connectivity for uninterrupted online activities at 30,000ft.”
“As we’re impressed by Anuvu’s efficient installation and delivery of high-speed connectivity we’re glad to collaborate with them to offer an IFC solution across multiple routes.”
Cem Odaman, Chief Business Development Officer of Profen added: “We are proud to collaborate with Anuvu to provide cutting-edge connectivity solutions for Turkish Airlines, across its domestic and international routes. We believe that Profen will make a significant contribution with its state-of-the-art ground stations in Türkiye and its long-standing Satcom experience.”
“This partnership underscores our dedication to advancing the inflight experience for passengers and providing seamless access to high-speed internet. It’s a milestone for both companies, setting a new standard in inflight connectivity excellence.”
As part of the installation program, Anuvu obtained European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approval for three internally developed Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for Airbus A321, Boeing 737-700 and Boeing 737-900ER aircraft.
