AS-IP Tech, parent company of BizjetMobile, a distributor of inflight connectivity solutions for corporate jet owners and operators, is launching FFlya Bizjet, a lightweight inflight text communication system designed specifically for business aircraft that do not require full broadband internet.

FFlya Bizjet enables passengers to stay in contact during flight using SMS-style messages, email messages and WhatsApp through an app-based relay system, without the need for onboard wi-fi or open internet access. Passengers connect via Bluetooth, allowing communication to continue throughout the flight using familiar formats.

The system is designed around compressed text communication, ensuring reliable performance while maintaining extremely low satellite data usage and operating cost. It does not provide real-time internet messaging, media transfer or web browsing, focusing instead on essential passenger communication.

Because of this approach, FFlya Bizjet provides a practical alternative to traditional satellite communication services, particularly for aircraft operating on legacy Iridium voice systems where bandwidth is limited and cost control is critical.

FFlya Bizjet is offered as a one-time system price of $9,990 per aircraft, with a monthly service fee of $99 for N-registered aircraft, providing operators with a predictable and low-cost communication solution.

AS-IP Tech says the service is positioned as an entry-level solution for operators who want to provide passenger communication without the cost and complexity of broadband systems.

For operators requiring full connectivity, including live WhatsApp, full email synchronisation, attachments and controlled internet access, the company offers its premium BizjetInternet platform.

The FFlya Bizjet service is being positioned for deployment across global business aviation fleets.
