ACARS Server
In-house ACARS server infrastructure — eliminate per-message fees and vendor dependency.
- In-house ACARS server replacing costly third-party subscriptions
- Covers flight planning, performance uplink, operational messaging, and A350 Type X
- Full control over your ACARS infrastructure with FEEL.AERO implementation support
FEEL.AERO operates its own ACARS infrastructure and offers the same technology to airlines seeking to reduce their ACARS operating costs and regain control of a critical communications channel.
The problem with third-party ACARS
Per-message ACARS fees are modest individually but accumulate significantly across an active fleet. Many operators are also running legacy service contracts from previous ownerships or aircraft generations — paying for services they no longer need, or for the same service through multiple providers.
What the ACARS Server provides
Core ACARS services
- Flight planning uplink from your flight planning system to aircraft
- Performance data uplink for real-time computation
- Operational messaging (OOOI events, position reports, crew-to-ground messages)
A350 Type X
Full Type X ACARS implementation for A350 operators, integrated with the eOPS ground server environment.
Monitoring and management
A management interface for monitoring message flows, diagnosing issues, and managing connections. No black box — you see everything that moves through the system.
Implementation approach
FEEL.AERO implements the ACARS Server on your infrastructure, configures it for your fleet and procedures, and validates operation before handover. We provide documentation and training so your team can operate and maintain the system independently — or we can provide ongoing managed support.
Frequently asked questions
What does the FEEL.AERO ACARS Server replace?
It replaces subscription-based ACARS service providers that charge recurring per-message or per-flight fees. An in-house implementation eliminates these costs while giving you full control over the infrastructure.
What services run on the ACARS Server?
Flight planning data uplink, performance computation uplink, operational messaging (OOOI, position reports, crew messages), and A350 Type X services.
How is the ACARS Server deployed?
The server runs on standard Linux infrastructure, either on-premises or in a private cloud. FEEL.AERO handles implementation, configuration, and initial operation. Knowledge transfer to your IT team is included.
What is the typical payback period?
This depends on fleet size and message volume. We provide a cost-benefit analysis as part of the engagement — most operators see positive ROI within 12–24 months.
