AJet passengers will get high-speed in-flight internet later this year after Türksat completed testing on 122 aircraft and moved into ongoing infrastructure installation.
2027 is the target for expanding the service to Turkish Airlines, with Türksat using existing and next-generation satellites under a project with TCI Aircraft Interiors and AJet.
24/7 monitoring from aircraft links to ground stations will be handled through Türksat’s Network Operations Center, while Turkish Technology built the passenger-facing apps and portal.
Türkiye says the project was designed and implemented last year with domestic resources, aiming to strengthen Türksat in aviation communications and support broader global partnerships in in-flight connectivity.
