Air-to-ground in-flight connectivity provider SmartSky Networks has announced Talon Air as its new sales and installation partner.
Talon Air, a full-service private jet company specialising in aircraft charter, aircraft sales, maintenance and management can can now install both existing and new customer aircraft with SmartSky’s in-flight connectivity.
“We aim to provide our customers with a world-class travel experience. Fast and reliable in-flight connectivity is now an absolute must for our customers,” said James Chitty, CEO of Talon Air.
“The opportunity to expand our network and partner with next-gen provider SmartSky made this an easy decision. SmartSky is now widely available and receiving rave reviews and we look forward to the successful completion of our first two projects.”
Talon Air has already begun its first projects with a Gulfstream V installation and a Hawker 4000 STC project.
Talon Air’s fleet includes nearly 50 business jet aircraft such as Gulfstream, Bombardier, Falcon and Textron.
According to SmartSky, Talon Air can install both the SmartSky FlagshipTM system for mid- to large-cabin jets as well as SmartSky LITE TM, which SmartSky says is the first-ever streaming-level connectivity solution for smaller business aircraft.
“Talon Air has been a responsive and customer-focused partner since the first moment we made contact,” said Aria Bahawdory, Director of MRO Account Management for SmartSky.
“Having both this installation and an STC project at the outset of the partnership demonstrates Talon Air’s high level of commitment to delivering the market and its customer base the best available connectivity solutions. We are extremely pleased to welcome Talon Air to our growing dealer network.”
