On-board texting and phone calls for up to 16 people
Many passengers (and pilots) want to stay connected in flight, especially on long trips. Until now, that has required over $100,000 in hardware, weeks-long installation jobs, and thousands of dollars per month in subscription fees. Not any more. AirText is an FAA-approved solution that’s both small enough and affordable enough for use in high performance piston and light turbine airplanes.
Features:
- Send and receive text messages in flight
- Uses Iridium satellite network, with coverage everywhere in the world – even on the ground
- Up to 16 users can connect at one time, using Bluetooth
- Each pilot and passenger has a private account – no sharing text messages
- Smart software notifies contacts when your flight is over
- Request and receive METARs and TAFs, anywhere in the world
- AirText+ model also adds voice phone capability
- Convenient one pound box is fast and easy to install – requires power and Iridium antenna connection
- FAA approved hardware
- Includes Iridium antenna
Data plans
$300/year includes 1000 text messages. Additional messages are 5 cents each. Voice calls are $1.60/minute with a prepaid Iridium sim card. Contact AirText upon receipt of hardware to finalize subscription.
