TCI Aircraft Interiors has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dolby Laboratories, marking the start of exploratory discussions around the use of Dolby Atmos® and Dolby Vision® in future IFE environments.
As part of the collaboration discussions, demonstrations at the TCI booth during AIX 2026 showcased Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision technologies, illustrating the potential of immersive entertainment experiences in aviation.
The MoU reflects a shared interest in evaluating how next‑generation audio and visual technologies could enhance the passenger entertainment experience onboard aircraft. Through this non‑binding agreement, TCI and Dolby will explore technical and commercial considerations related to immersive sound and high‑dynamic‑range video for future IFE solutions, with a particular focus on TCI’s Cornea IFE ecosystem.
Cornea is designed to be the "Architect of the Digital Cabin," offering a versatile and scalable platform that seamlessly integrates into modern aircraft environments. By exploring the integration of Dolby’s HDR and spatial audio technologies, TCI aims to further enhance Cornea’s capabilities.
“This MoU with Dolby allows us to explore how immersive audio and visual technologies could shape the future of inflight entertainment,” said Müjdat Uludağ, CEO, TCI.
