Features

Watch, listen, play — together, from your seat.

Cached on the aircraft and served over the cabin network, so it works with no satellite link. Here's the full lineup, grouped.

The product

Everything Skyloft ships.

A real product, today. Films and series stream from the aircraft cache; music and podcasts pull on the schedule before the door closes; news refreshes 00:00 UTC; games run server-authoritative on the onboard server. Original-designed tiles only — no implied catalogue partnerships.

Watch & listen

Films, series, music, podcasts.

Cached on the aircraft before push-back. Stream over the cabin LAN with no satellite link required. Skyloft Originals (the ATLAS placeholder in our visual) ship from day one. Licensed catalogues slot into the same launcher as deals close — they are not a prerequisite.

Films
Public-domain classics, CC cinema, Skyloft Originals.
Series
Episode resume across devices, season detail, continue-watching.
Music
Browse by album / artist / genre. Persistent player across the launcher.
Podcasts
RSS-pulled shows cached for the flight; episode resume.

Watch together

Watch a film with the people you're travelling with.

Travelling companions can watch the same film or show in sync, each from their own seat. The onboard server keeps everyone on the same moment — anyone can play, pause or skip and it moves for the whole group — and you can send a quick emoji reaction that pops up on every screen. Because the syncing happens on the aircraft, it's instant, with no internet needed. (A capability of the platform; available on titles licensed for synced group viewing.)

In sync across seats
Everyone stays on the same moment, kept in step by the onboard server.
Shared play / pause
Any companion can play, pause or skip — it moves for the whole party.
Emoji reactions
Tap a reaction and it lands on every screen in the group. No chat — reactions only.
Invite the seat next to you
Invite-only between specific seats; a party survives someone leaving.

Read

Daily news, refreshed on schedule.

Open news feeds pulled and cached by the cloud, served from the aircraft. Versioned by date so the launcher shows yesterday's bundle when the cabin can't reach the cloud. Refresh cadence is configurable — the default is 00:00 UTC.

Play across the cabin

Play chess against someone a few rows away.

Real multiplayer between seats: challenge another passenger to a live game of chess and play it out across the cabin, move by move, synced through the onboard server. Trivia runs as scored rounds you can play together, and there are solo classics for a quiet hour. Every move and score is decided on the aircraft's own server with zero connectivity — an interactive surface most current IFE platforms simply do not have.

Chess, seat vs seat
Challenge another passenger and play a real game live across the cabin — or take on the computer.
Trivia rounds
Server-scored quiz rounds; the question bank is cached on the aircraft.
Solitaire
Klondike — a quiet single-player classic.

Your phone

Scan, and your phone is the remote.

Scan the QR and the remote opens in your phone's browser — no app to install. It becomes the remote, the keyboard, the controller, and the audio transport (play/pause/skip), since the cabin is mostly a heads-down environment. On aircraft with no seatback screen, the same browser approach is the forward path to running the whole experience on your own device — bring your own device, just connect to the seat. A native app stays an optional enhanced tier for frequent flyers, not a requirement.

Scan to pair — no install
Camera QR or a six-character code. Pairing is cabin-local: no internet, no account.
Remote + keyboard
D-pad, transport, full keyboard.
Game controller
Move and answer from the phone.
Bring your own device
The browser-first path for aircraft with no seatback screen — your phone is the screen. On the roadmap.
