Factory‑Fit Future: Line‑Fit In‑Flight Connectivity Moves IFC From Retrofit to OEM‑Embedded Systems In‑flight connectivity has moved decisively from aftermarket retrofit to factory‑installed line‑fit: airframers are embedding antennas, radomes, wiring provisions and server space into new aircraft. That trend is altering competitive dynamics for IFEC vendors and pushing airlines and OEMs to rethink retrofit, service and revenue models.
