The Market for IFC in Business Aviation - 2026
‘The Market for IFC in Business Aviation – 2026’ is the fifth edition of Valour’s popular flagship report on cabin connectivity in business aviation.
This edition will provide a pointed analysis focussing on the evolving IFC landscape. Key themes include:
- The present and future impact of existing LEO networks such as Starlink and OneWeb.
- The evolution of L-band, air-to-ground and GEO Ka-/Ku-band solutions on the market.
- Predictions for the future competitive environment factoring in incoming networks such as Amazon Leo and Telesat.
Qualitative analysis will explore market trends – such as multi-network setups and the changing role of the service provider – and offer insight into opportunities in both the line-fit and retrofit markets. This will be accompanied by a comprehensive dataset that sizes up the global fleet of business jets and turboprops, installed base by aircraft type, region and connectivity technology, and service revenues across the forecast window (2025-2035). Market share statistics will also be provided at the network operator and service provider levels.

Satellite D2D: Its Role in Commercial Applications - 2026
Satellite Direct-to-Device (D2D) connectivity is reshaping the future of global communications. By allowing smartphones and IoT devices to link directly with satellites, D2D offers a solution to ongoing coverage gaps while unlocking entirely new markets. Such capability is expected to enable the future management of autonomous platforms such as drones in areas lacking terrestrial coverage.
With spectrum and regulation evolving, and momentum building, the window is open. A wave of new partnerships, business models, and applications is taking shape to capture growing demand. Industry players must act now to refine strategy, gain advantage, and influence the future of universal connectivity.
This brand-new study from Valour Consultancy will explore the transformation of commercial D2D technologies, identifying the companies, technologies and strategies best positioned to lead this rapidly emerging market. It will provide a 10-year market outlook, detailing assumption, future trends and forecasts out to 2034.

Free Whitepaper - Business and VVIP Travel Demands Next-Generation Connectivity
There’s no one-size fits all IFC solution in business aviation. What may work for one aircraft owner might not be suitable for another with a different operational profile. This makes it imperative to understand how the industry will evolve in the coming years – not least because we’re at the intersection of a technological revolution that will see the hardware-centric approach of old make way for a future defined by software.
This whitepaper, developed with ST Engineering iDirect, sets out what this software-defined future will look like, and the many ways in which it will benefit the business aviation community.
