Jet Aviation has installed its first in-house developed in-flight entertainment and cabin management system as part of a recent refurbishment project.
The unit of General Dynamics offers private jet charter and aircraft management in addition to FBO and MRO services.
The redelivery on a narrow-body refurbishment project marks the Jet Aviation system’s entry into service following development and certification.
Known as IFX, the fully customizable IFE and CMS software was developed in-house by Jet Aviation engineers.
It offers a customized interface to control all aspects of in-flight entertainment and cabin management.
That includes passenger address announcements, lighting, audio, video, and custom functions.
The system is built on certified hardware components in line with aviation standards, including Jet Aviation-certified units for the CMS.
Head of Engineering Florent Klinger said, “We are incredibly proud to see our in-house IFE and CMS system flying in a customer aircraft.”
He added, “This reflects the close collaboration between our engineers, production, and installation teams, with one another as well as with our customer.”
Klinger continued, “Developing the system architecture in-house has enabled us to create a fully customizable system that can seamlessly support customer requirements throughout the aircraft lifecycle, from installation through operation and upgrades.”
The system was installed at its facility in Basel, Switzerland.
