Airmont’s strategic relationship with DIRECTV IN FLIGHT is set to bring live entertainment from JetVision by DIRECTV to private aircraft.
The cooperation enables passengers on private flights to view live entertainment – including live sporting events and breaking news – with the same ease and quality they would expect at home.
JetVision by DIRECTV is an IPTV solution delivering entertainment to private aircraft. It features premium live programming, including breaking news, sports, weather, TV shows and movies.
No additional equipment is needed for passengers to watch live programming on cabin displays through application streaming players such as Roku and Apple TV+. Personal electronic devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones can connect via the Airmont Player, Airmont Player+ application or through an internet browser.
Airmont will integrate JetVision by DIRECTV into its portfolio and apply its proprietary optimisation technologies, which help reduce bandwidth consumption per stream, minimise the number of live feeds opened on the internet and guarantee smooth playback.
The operators and owners of private aircraft will benefit from stream supervision tools, which allow them to monitor the user experience for improved support efficiency.
Airmont service is enabled through compatible onboard avionics such as the AVDS Node by Innovative Advantage.
Live content has become a defining feature of the inflight experience. Sports fans don’t want to miss a decisive game simply because they are flying.
“Passengers expect the same level of connectivity and live engagement in the air as they do on the ground. With JetVision by DIRECTV now part of our service offering, we ensure that business aviation clients can enjoy this experience, smoothly and reliably, without compromise,” said Jean-François Gault, Executive Chairman at Airmont.
Kimberly de Flesco, Head of Aviation Strategy for DIRECTV IN FLIGHT, commented: “Live TV – especially sports and news – has become a defining part of the inflight entertainment experience for business travellers who want to stay connected. Working with Airmont allows us to further extend JetVision into the business aviation market, helping passengers catch the live TV moments that matter most.”
