Jet Aviation Completes First Installation of its In-House Developed IFE and CMS System

BASEL, Switzerland / April 13, 2026 — Jet Aviation announced today that it has successfully installed its first in-house developed in-flight entertainment (IFE) and cabin management system (CMS) as part of a recent refurbishment project. The redelivery on a narrow-body refurbishment project marks the system’s entry into service following development and certification.

Known as ‘IFX’, the fully customizable IFE and CMS software was developed in-house by Jet Aviation engineers. It offers a customized interface to control all aspects of in-flight entertainment and cabin management, including passenger address announcements, lighting, audio, video, and custom functions. The system is built on certified hardware components in line with aviation standards, including Jet Aviation-certified units for the CMS.

“We are incredibly proud to see our in-house IFE and CMS system flying in a customer aircraft,” said Florent Klinger, Head of Engineering at Jet Aviation. “This reflects the close collaboration between our engineers, production, and installation teams, with one another as well as with our customer. Developing the system architecture in-house has enabled us to create a fully customizable system that can seamlessly support customer requirements throughout the aircraft lifecycle, from installation through operation and upgrades.”

“Deploying the system on an operational aircraft enables us to capture in-service feedback and continuously enhance the platform, while upholding the reliability and support standards expected in an aircraft environment.”

The system was installed on a narrow-body refurbishment project completed at Jet Aviation’s maintenance and completion center in Basel.

“Bringing IFX into service represents an important milestone for our teams,” said Marco Crescenzi, Senior Director Program Management, Large Aircraft. “Deploying the system on an operational aircraft enables us to capture in-service feedback and continuously enhance the platform, while upholding the reliability and support standards expected in an aircraft environment.”

Jet Aviation’s IFX is available for completion and refurbishment projects at Jet Aviation facilities.
