Skyloft

How it works

Scan, pair, and the screen is yours.

The whole handshake happens on the plane, over the cabin network — the internet is never in the loop. Here's the pairing moment, the passenger flow, and the two ways Skyloft runs.

Getting connected

The pairing moment.

Before anyone presses play: the seatback shows a QR and a six-character code, and the passenger's phone opens the remote in the browser — no app to install. Scan the code, or type it with the vehicle name. That's the whole handshake.

The Skyloft seatback pairing screen: 'Welcome to Skyloft — scan with your phone to pair this screen', a large QR code, a six-character code, and the seat and vehicle name, with a 'Use this screen without your phone' button.
On the seatback

A QR and a short code — scan it, or read the code across to your phone.

The Skyloft web remote pairing screen on a phone: 'Skyloft remote — scan the seatback QR or enter the six-character code', a scanner viewport, and fields for the pairing code and vehicle name with a Pair button.
On your phone

Opens in the browser, no install. Scan the QR, or type the code and vehicle name.

How it works

Scan. Pair. It's yours.

  1. 01

    Scan — or just touch the screen.

    Point your phone's camera at the QR on the seatback and it opens in your browser — nothing to install. No phone, or a flat battery? Use the seatback as a touchscreen instead. Pairing happens on the plane over the cabin network; the internet is not in the loop.

  2. 02

    Pair.

    The screen is yours for the flight. Your phone becomes the remote, the keyboard, and the controller — all in the browser. Switch devices, or move to the seatback, and your premium follows the seat.

  3. 03

    Pick what you want.

    Films, series, music, podcasts, news, and in-seat games. The session lives with the flight and dies on landing.

The platform layer

We're the software. Your IFE is the screen.

Skyloft is the application platform that runs on top of the IFE you already have. The seatback path ships today; the screenless-fleet path is the forward road.

Embedded — on the seatbacks you already have

Embedded mode. Shipping.

Skyloft runs on the airline's existing seatback. The passenger pairs over a QR on the same screen — controlling it from their phone's browser, no app to install — or uses the seatback as a touchscreen with no phone at all. To sit inside a vendor's IFE menu, Skyloft is designed to integrate via a small host adapter (per-platform adapters for Panasonic eX1, Thales AVANT, Burrana rPlus and similar are planned). Nothing certified is ripped out.

BYOD — for aircraft without seatbacks

BYOD mode. On the roadmap.

On aircraft with no seatback screens — narrowbodies, regionals — the passenger's own device becomes the screen: join the cabin Wi-Fi, open a browser portal, no app install. Same content catalogue, same launcher, same offline-first stance. This BYOD path is the next build; embedded ships today.

  • Screenless fleets
  • Cabin Wi-Fi
  • Browser portal
  • Roadmap

Hardware-agnostic by design. Skyloft does not sell screens, does not certify boxes, and is not the IFE.
