Based in Malta and in the UK, the business charter specialist operates (with 17 aircraft) one of the largest and most diversified fleets in European private aviation. This strategy enables the company to propose access to selected airports or to answer the large cargo demand, small and large groups. While VIP aviation has gained traction since the pandemic, passengers are also increasingly demanding, expecting to stay connected at all times, even during a flight.

Known for combining performance with cost-effective offerings and winner of numerous awards, AirX has had to adapt to a changing market since the pandemic, with passengers keen to fly safely and prioritise comfort with first-class services. Following the acquisition of an A340, the company chose a VIP configuration for the aircraft.

Looking for an immersive entertainment experience for its passengers, whether they travel for business or leisure, AirX has partnered with Moment to upgrade the cabin with the Flymingo Box. A portable plug-and-play system, the wireless inflight device enables AirX to provide premium services and entertainment content, including films, tv shows, magazines and music. Once set up in the cabin, the Box supports advanced streaming and ensures reliability for passengers looking for always-on connectivity. With a few clicks and from their own electronic devices, they access a personalised digital portal providing optimal services.

"We were convinced by the flexibility and ease of installation of Moment's solution. In just a short time we are able to offer our customers a premium digital service like-at-home," said Houssam Hazzoury, CEO of AirX Group. "Accelerating digitisation is essential for the continued development of our charter and commercial business. The A340 allows us to offer a tailored flight experience that meets the needs of our customers, enhanced by the features of the Flymingo Box which offers a full range of onboard services."

“We are pleased AirX chose Moment as a partner. Moment is committed to delivering a dedicated powerful and reliable solution to all business jet operators – one that provides passengers with top-of-the-range connected services," says Dieudonné Kamaté, Business Development Director at Moment. "This agreement highlights our capacity to adapt to all types of aircraft and business models and confirms our ambition to be a trusted partner serving more airline companies."
