Stay Connected without the High Cost
of a Traditional Internet Option
Airtext is a great value for aircraft owners, especially for smaller aircraft, offering cabin connectivity and inflight messaging at a reasonable price that makes sense.
Email/Text
Don’t miss out on important messages. With Airtext’s inflight email messaging capability, you can send and receive those important emails and stay connected. Airtext’s text messaging capability allows users to send and receive SMS messsages anywhere in the world at any altitude.
Phone
With Airtext+, users can send/receive voice messages.
Interactive Moving Map
Airtext provides real-time flight data to display location, destination, speed, altitude, time to destination, and more.
Pilot/Operator Communications
Through Airtext’s FBOLink, pilots can communicate with FBO’s while in flight. This is a useful way to alert your destination FBO of your ETA, and make any requests for services.
How it works
A small “paperback” sized FAA-approved Airtext box weighing about 1 pound that is installed on the airplane and connects to the existing iridium phone antenna. Passengers download the FREE Airtext mobile app and can seamlessly send and receive text messages while on-board.
