In-Flight Entertainment Solutions - IFE

Thales is the fastest growing IFE Company in the World 

Today Thales is a popular IFE choice for commercial aircraft. Known for innovation and flexibility, Thales continues to bring to airlines new IFE capabilities and services.
It started in the year 2000 when Thales decided that a new web-based IFE platform was the best approach to a new IFE system design. The Thales TopSeries IFE system made its’ debut in 2002. Since then, market acceptance has enabled Thales’ IFE business to grow into a strong global operation serving world airlines.
