The gold standard for safety-critical services
As the leader in flight deck communications, we own and operate the world’s most advanced global L-band satellite network. Trusted by more than 200 airlines, our aviation safety services are onboard more than 12000架飞机 and deliver 5000万年 position reports annually, keeping aircraft safely separated and in touch with airline operation teams and 空气 Traffic Control (ATC).
Introduced in the early 1990s, 经典的航空 made a powerful impact as the first satellite communications and surveillance service for aircraft travelling across the oceans and remote regions of the world. These key capabilities – only possible with the power of satellites – enabled regulators to reduce the separation requirements between aircraft in the sky, thereby expanding oceanic airspace capacity by over 300%.
Powered by a seamless and evolving network
经典的航空 delivers full global coverage over all major flight routes, supported by a seamless network with embedded cybersecurity.
This is the reason that most of the world’s leading airlines have used 经典的航空 services for the past three decades – not to mention small, medium and large business jet owners, general aviation customers and government agencies.
We continue to invest in our global L-band satellite network to support 经典的航空 for many years to come. Our technology roadmap will see three L-band I-8 satellites in orbit from 2026, in addition to the recently launched and fully operational I-6 F1, the most powerful L-band payload ever launched.
Not only have we led aviation safety satcom for the past 30+ years, we helped to invent it.
We started laying the foundation for 经典的航空 all the way back in the late 1980s, working with the International Civil 航空 Organization (ICAO) to develop the Future 空气 Navigation System (FANS).
