Aircraft Wi-Fi and Inflight Connectivity Installation Services
Keep your fleet connected without unnecessary ground time.
JMC Aviation, as part of LAUNCH, supports airlines, MROs and OEMs with experienced aircraft Wi-Fi installation teams, mobile deployment and repeatable installation processes across Airbus, Boeing and regional jet fleets.
From prototype support and pre-induction preparation to nose-to-tail fleet programmes, we help coordinate the specialist people, planning and on-aircraft activity required to deliver inflight connectivity installations efficiently.
Proven inflight connectivity installation experience
The 48-hour turnaround is achieved at steady state on suitable nose-to-tail programmes and is subject to aircraft, system, kit and site readiness.
What is an aircraft Wi-Fi installation service?
An aircraft Wi-Fi installation service provides the specialist structural, avionics and programme support required to install or upgrade an inflight connectivity system.
Depending on the project, this can include prototype support, pre-induction planning, installation-kit preparation, structural and avionics modification work, technical supervision and fleet sequencing. The objective is to introduce or upgrade onboard connectivity while maintaining control of aircraft downtime, quality, schedule and cost.
A structured approach to aircraft connectivity upgrades
Successful inflight connectivity installation is more than providing technicians. Programme preparation, engineering clarity, kit availability and fleet sequencing all influence how quickly an aircraft can return to service, and is why JMC Aviation are trusted to deliver seamless Wi-Fi Modification packages to customers across the globe.

How can aircraft Wi-Fi be installed in 48 hours?
A 48-hour aircraft Wi-Fi installation is achieved through detailed preparation and a repeatable fleet programme.
On a suitable nose-to-tail programme, efficiencies are developed across the first three to four aircraft until the installation team reaches a consistent, steady-state turnaround.
The process is supported by:
Experienced installation teams
Structural and avionics specialists who understand the IFC installation sequence and common programme constraints.
Clear engineering instructions
Well-defined Engineering Orders and early alignment with the system architecture help minimise unnecessary cabin access and avoid preventable delays.
Installation-kit readiness
Kits should be complete and available at least 30 days before aircraft induction, providing time to resolve shortages or damaged components.
Pre-induction staging and preparation
Components are staged in installation order, while wire runs can be laid out, measured and pre-terminated before work begins on the aircraft.
Consistent fleet sequencing
Scheduling common aircraft types consecutively allows the team to retain learning and efficiency from one installation to the next.

Installation support wherever you need it
Aircraft Wi-Fi installation teams can be deployed to airline and MRO facilities around the world, helping clients complete connectivity programmes within their existing maintenance plans.
Support can be structured:
- Directly with an airline under an agreed MSA and Statement of Work
- Through an OEM or system manufacturer delivering a turnkey airline programme
- As a specialist subcontractor supporting an MRO
- Through repair-station-based operations in Wichita
This flexibility allows each programme to be aligned with the client’s facilities, fleet plan and preferred commercial structure.
