Now Available Around The Globe
ARINC Direct has added a convenient
new local dialing option to its ground-to-air telephone service for
operators of business aircraft based outside the United States.
ARINC's Direct Dial InternationalSM service allows ARINC Direct
subscribers to place phone calls directly to their aircraft by
dialing a telephone number that is local for them.
The new service eliminates a previous requirement to dial a
number local to the United States when placing calls to corporate
aircraft.
Direct Dial International is available immediately to customers
of ARINC Direct from 75 countries and hundreds of metropolitan
areas around the globe, including much of Europe. Aircraft
operators may reserve local telephone numbers in several countries
to simplify calling aircraft around the world.
"Our European customers have been
especially eager for this introduction of locally dialed telephone
access to their aircraft," stated Dave Poltorak, ARINC Vice
President and Managing Director, ARINC EMEA. "We are proud to
introduce Direct Dial International as an industry first that makes
corporate communications simpler and more convenient."
At the subscriber's option, ARINC Direct can assign a local
phone number either to one specific aircraft or an entire fleet.
Callers can simply choose the desired aircraft, and the handset
location onboard, from an easy-to-use voice menu after dialing.
ARINC's Direct Dial International service also offers dynamic
routing, enabling calls to be connected to the aircraft seamlessly
via Inmarsat Classic, Inmarsat Swift, Verizon AirfoneTM, or Iridium
satellite services. And an automatic fax detection feature allows
sending faxes to the aircraft via the same local number with no
user intervention required.
"We believe our Direct Dial International service offers the
industry's best features for corporate and business users, as well
as the best value," continued Poltorak. "It represents a new
standard in direct dialed phone service."
