Boeing Aircraft Interface Device

High-speed, high-bandwidth data communication between the airplane and ground operations is no longer an option—it is a competitive necessity. Airlines that are fully connected on the ground and in the air can utilize real-time data to help improve flight deck operations, reduce potential schedule impacts, and improve the passenger experience.

To help airlines meet the need for enhanced airplane connectivity, Boeing is introducing the new software-configurable Boeing Aircraft Interface Device (AID) as standard on all in-production airplanes and as a retrofit on all Boeing (and most other) commercial airplane models.

The Boeing AID conforms to 2014/53/EU, Radio Equipment Directive.

One part number, fewer spares needed

The Boeing AID can support many different configurations from one line replaceable unit (LRU). Having one LRU and one part number reduces the number of spare parts needed and makes it easy to support connectivity upgrades or changes.

Airlines also need a solution that works for their entire fleet, and the Boeing AID is built to support both Boeing and non-Boeing commercial airplanes.

The Boeing AID integrates with the Boeing software portfolio to help open new opportunities for optimizing processes, performance, and operations.
