Boeing Digital Direct

Take control of the full onboard digital experience

Boeing Digital Direct puts airlines in control of all-things digital onboard, with a wide range of capabilities connecting the rapid evolution of technology with changing passenger expectations.

A true digital platform will be built to your exact requirements and grow with your plans over time. So whether your airline is looking for wireless entertainment, end-to-end retail and catering support, ancillary revenue or upgraded IFE content, we’re here to help.

And importantly, we make it easy. Digital Direct is hardware agnostic, meaning we can deploy to existing IFEC systems or commence service with an easy overhead bin installation on any commercial aircraft.

Digital Direct is the result of a strategic partnership between Boeing and technology firm Immfly, an AEI HorizonX portfolio company.
