Falcon 7X To Get OnAir Cabin Phone System
OnAir is working on a supplementary type certificate for the Dassault Falcon 7X.

OnAir is working on a supplementary type certificate for the Dassault Falcon 7X, which will be the first purpose-built business jet to receive the on-board cell phone service specialist’s system. So far, the system had been installed only in “bizliners,” such as Boeing BBJs or Airbus ACJs. OnAir allows passengers to use their phone in flight just as they would on the ground, at affordable cost.

For the passenger, “nothing changes, and that changes everything,” said OnAir’s head of VIP, corporate and governmental aircraft David Bony. This is different from using a satellite telephone, he pointed out. The passenger can also receive calls on his or her personal cell phone while flying and thus can use the contact directory that it contains.
