JetPortal and CrewPortal are the on board portals which allows web based interface for passengers applications and crew members as well.

Passengers connects their laptops browsers JetPortal, which is fully multilanguage, and can navigate free parts of the on board portal for information such as news, weather, an onboard chat, local magazines, destination information, advertised sites and Flight Based Services (FBS).

They can also navigate to IFE sections where they can enjoy on board programming, movies, music, games and gambling on their own devices as well as ordering food/drinks or buy merchandise. They can also buy communication services to the ground such as internet connections if the aircraft has ground connectivity, VoIP calls or messaging. All this with a single intuitive interface.

The airline can decide which services to offer, whether they want to charge for them and the corresponding price lists.
They use the JetBill core functions for billing and payment using credit cards, prepaid vouchers, accumulated frequent flyer miles or any fidelity programs the airline may have in place (also with partners). Tariffs for premium services can be bound to passengers class or finer categories.

Crew members can control services using CrewPortal as well as being informed of customer orders or requests made in JetPortal.
CrewPortal allows also summary reports and communication with ground personnel for operational or administrative procedures including security.

Given the increasing number of passengers carrying on board smartphones, PDA and tablets, PlaneBill has developed several native applications taking into account their additional capabilities as well as their additional limitations.

Native applications range from simplified access to JetPortal information, as well as new features such as communication, sending/receiving messages on board, automatic flight modes setup, etc.

There is a large number of platforms for mobile devices, in order to cover most passengers devices PlaneBill has developed these applications for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm WebOS, Symbian and BlackBerry.* Evolution of the mobile platform scenarios is closely followed by PlaneBill to introduce or prioritize most popular ones.

Mobile Applications are also available for crew members functions, allowing them to control services from a carried on tablet or smartphone.

* Not all Mobile Applications are available on all Mobile Platforms.

One of the most innovative solution presented by PlaneBill, allows passengers to communicate with peers on the ground using a roaming mechanisms they fully control. This solution requires a minimum air to ground connectivity (Iridium is sufficient for messaging) and a ground server which can be hosted at the Airline premises anywhere.

After having downloaded the planeroaming client on their smartphones, they can decide to roam on the plane, thus being able to become reachable, or they can use the application to send messages to their contacts while flying.

The system is controllable by the airline/aircraft operator which can decide and monitor usage and prices.

This solution does not require any GSM or cellular installation on board or on ground, but let the passengers be reached on their cellular number. The airline does not have any relationship with a cellular operator and can decide autonomously on the tariffs.
