The first Aerq IFE products recently received EASA Form 1 certification. Being in the position to provide EASA Form 1–certified products is a milestone for the organisation.

Obtaining this certificate is a prerequisite for aviation suppliers as with it, they can declare their products as airworthy. The EASA Form 1 is the Authorised Release Certificate that declares the airworthiness of products, parts, and appliances. It states that a product, a part, or a component was manufactured in accordance with approved design data.
