TCI Aircraft Interiors unveiled Cornea, its next-generation In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany.
Marking a major milestone for the company, Cornea ushers in a new era of innovation in the world of in-flight entertainment. Blending cutting-edge technology, elegant design, and a seamless user experience, Cornea introduces a range of features to the aviation industry as a valuable new asset.
Designed to deliver a premium experience for both Business and Economy Class passengers, Cornea offers breathtaking visuals, crystal-clear audio, and intuitive controls.
“Our mission has always been to enhance the passenger experience through thoughtful design and advanced technology,” said Müjdat Uludağ, CEO of TCI Aircraft Interiors.
“Today, we are not just unveiling a new in-flight entertainment system — we are providing airlines with a powerful new resource in a supply chain environment still recovering from the pandemic. Combined with our in house seat designs, Cornea will be certified and delivered swiftly.”
Additionally, TCI Aircraft Interiors has announced that the first deliveries of Cornea will take place in the second half of 2026, as part of Turkish Airlines’ retrofit programs. As TCI designs and manufacturers both Economy and Business Class seats in-house, the new IFE system will initially be certified together with these seat products.
This collaboration marks a significant step toward bringing Cornea’s groundbreaking technology to the skies and redefining the travel experience for passengers around the world. With the launch of Cornea, TCI Aircraft Interiors is poised to shape the future of air travel, offering airlines a powerful and reliable solution to elevate the passenger experience.
