Called AvioPhone, the app is available for the iPhone, iPad and Android mobile platforms.

The app acts as an interface between your smartphone and the aircraft’s satcoms installation – Satcom1 is a distributor for Inmarsat SwiftBroadband, Iridium, Thuraya and other Ku-band suppliers.
 
Satcom1 says it “provides an outstanding calling experience ensured by very reliable and secure voice communication during flights”.
 
Karina B Larsen, chief executive, Satcom1, said: “In today’s corporate world, it is vital to stay connected while on the go in order to conduct business easily and efficiently, and this is exactly what AvioPhone is able to do.
 
“It is with great pride that we are able to demonstrate that we listen to our customers and accommodate their needs.”
 
This is the latest addition to Satcom1’s AvioIP “Office in the Sky” product range for business aircraft cabins.
 
The Aviophone app is available from both Google Play and the Apple Store.
