FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. announced that its long-term OEM partner has engaged the company to undertake engineering and design work on the technology that it licenses from FLYHT as part of its Airbus line fit satcom program.

The refresh of the technology positions the two partners to extend the longevity of this successful program with Airbus.

As part of this long-standing program, FLYHT supports its OEM partner in delivering a customized version of the AFIRS 228S to support voice and data communications used in the cockpit of Airbus aircraft anywhere in the world through the Iridium satellite network.

“The request by our long-term OEM partner to refresh the modem design is the surest indication that the AFIRS 228S line fit program with Airbus remains strong,” commented Gurjot Bhullar, VP of Operations at FLYHT.

“It is a reflection of the high quality of FLYHT’s product and their acceptance and reliance upon it. We have increased confidence that this revenue stream will continue well into the future.”


This technical services contract is valued at approximately U$360,000 with work expected to be completed over the coming months.

It builds upon a relationship previously discussed in press releases dated July 2014, August 2019, February 2020, July 2021, October 2021, May 2022, and June 2023. This program has resulted in the shipment of over 3,200 units to Airbus to date.
