✈️ Airlines / IFE

Integrate licensed music playlists into an airline in-flight entertainment (IFE) system.

Aviation is an offline-first environment — aircraft have no reliable internet during flight, so all music content must be delivered, validated, and loaded onto the IFE system before departure. This is usually managed by a Content Service Provider (CSP). This document is intended for CSPs wishing to utilise Tuned Global's API suite to deliver their music offering directlt to airlines.

Tuned Global's platform handles the full pipeline: catalogue access, playlist curation, rights-cleared content delivery, audio and metadata file export. By the end of this guide you'll understand the end-to-end workflow from catalogue to cabin.
