The software platform for inflight entertainment
Modern IFE, on the screens you already have.
Skyloft is the app layer that runs on the airline's existing seatback — controlled from the passenger's phone in the browser, no app to install, or by touch with no phone at all. Films, music, podcasts and news; a live flight tracker and destination guide; chess played across the cabin; and watch-together so companions stay in sync from their own seats. Offline-first, hardware-agnostic, no rip-and-replace.
What you get
A seatback that finally feels like now.
Films and music, games you play across the cabin, and the people you're travelling with — all from your seat.
How it works
Scan, pair, and the screen is yours.
Point your phone at the QR on the seatback and the remote opens in your browser — nothing to install. No phone? Use the seatback by touch. Pairing happens on the plane, over the cabin network — the internet is never in the loop.

For airlines and IFE vendors
A platform you can ship on — without buying hardware.
Honest framing: Skyloft is a software partner for the application layer. We don't replace your IFE vendor, we don't certify avionics, we don't sell boxes. We bring the engagement + ancillary-revenue surface your existing platform doesn't have.
No hardware. No certification.
Skyloft is designed to run as an app inside your existing IFE platform via a host adapter (planned per platform), with a BYOD path on the roadmap for aircraft without seatbacks. Nothing flies that wasn't already flying.
Deploy in months, not years.
The onboard server is a software install — no new wiring, no panel changes. Embedded mode rides on the IFE vendor's hosted-app slot; BYOD mode needs only the cabin Wi-Fi you already have.
Offline-first by construction.
Catalogues, news, and audio are cached on the aircraft. Pairing is cabin-local. Skyloft works the same with no satellite link as with one — the cloud is for fleet config and per-flight billing, not for serving content.
