The FlytEdge Pilot program is almost here. As a preferred partner who chose to be part of this exciting adventure with us, we wanted to keep you updated on the latest news regarding this program. FlytEdge is not yet a public product thus the information below is only to be shared internally within your company.

Thales equips the whole Spirit Airlines fleet with connectivity. As a test pilot for the FlytEdge solution we chose to upgrade 4 of those aircraft with our on-board datacenter, giving Spirit guests a sneak peek into the potential of FlytEdge. 

The pilot is slated to run for up to a year, thanks to the flexibility of FlytEdge the ambition is to do continuous updates throughout this year, to conduct A/B testing, gather data and deploy new services.

Spirit Airlines does not have seatback screen so the FlytEdge experience will be accessed only on personal devices after connecting to the wifi.
