AirCell’s Axxess gets EASA nod for range of Challenger bizjets

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified AirCell’s Iridium-based Axxess EZ cabin communications system in the Bombardier Challenger 600, 601 and 604, adding to the list of business airplanes approved to fly with the gear.

Axxess EZ reuses the wiring and other components from existing MagnaStar air-to-ground phone systems, giving business jet operators a relatively straightforward way of upgrading hardware used with the U.S. service. Network operator Verizon said it plans to shut down the MagnaStar late next year. The Iridium link that Axxess EZ uses is available anywhere in the world with usage charges averaging about $1 per minute.
