Under the new agreement, Aerkomm Malta and Airbus Interior Services have agreed that Airbus Interior Services will provide and certify, in accordance with Airbus Design Organization Approval, a complete retrofit solution to develop EASA/FAA certified Service Bulletins, to supply related Aircraft Modification Kits, and to install the Aerkomm K++ Connectivity solution on the A320 family of commercial aircraft. This new agreement also includes Airbus support for the integration of the Aerkomm K++ System components on the aircraft, including ARINC 791 structural reinforcements and related engineering work.

Additionally, Airbus Interior Services will provide support for National Airworthiness Authorities (NAA) certification as required in addition to the EASA certification, as well as on-site technical support at the Maintenance Repair Organization (MRO) base for the aircraft retrofit.
