training services, spares parts and tools, supplier’s equipment, ground support equipment, software, technical data and
documentation, engineering services, modification kits and technical assistance (individually or collectively the “Products

in relation with the Products and Services, and for which there is no reference to a specific agreement entered into by the Parties

and conditions of purchase.

The
provision of Products and Services by the Seller shall be subject to the fulfilment of the ordering and payment processes set
forth in these Terms. The obligations to buy for the Customer and to sell for the Seller the Products and Services mentioned in
the Order shall become binding upon the Parties and therefore become a “Binding Order” only upon the issuance by the
Seller of an Order acceptance in written form.
Any
Order for Products and Services must be sent by the Customer to the address provided by the Seller either in the relevant Seller’s
catalogue or by any other means. If appropriate, Orders shall be placed in accordance with the relevant ATA specifications and
will be administered in accordance with ATA specifications in force as of the date of performance of said Order. Orders placed
by the Customer shall include all appropriate information including but not limited to the description and quantity of the Products
and Services ordered, the Order number, the delivery schedule and the Seller’s price, as available. Orders for Products and Services
shall be placed in writing (whether by letter, telefax, or email) or electronically through the CSC as applicable. The Seller
will convert all Orders for spare parts to the concept of single item orders in accordance with ATA SPEC 2000 Chapter 3.
For
Products and Services subject to yearly subscription, such as but not limited to technical data and software, the Customer shall
place an Order to initiate the subscription. Once it becomes a Binding Order, the subscription remains in force until either Party
notifies the other of its decision to terminate such Binding Order in writing by October 31
st
of the then current year
at the latest, for a termination effective as from the 31
st
of December of the current calendar year.
Any
change to the Products and Services induced by the Seller after receipt of an Order shall be notified for approval to the Customer
and shall become binding upon both Parties if no written objection is raised within eight (8) working days from the date of such
notification by the Seller. If the Customer issues a written objection within the relevant period, the Parties shall negotiate
in good faith to reach a mutual agreement. If an agreement is not reached within thirty (30) days of the issuance of an objection, the Order shall be deemed cancelled without further formalities, provided that if the Seller specifically manufactured or purchased
part or all the Products or started performing the Services, the Customer shall accept such Products and Services and/or part
thereof and pay relevant prices as reasonably determined by the Seller and which shall not exceed the prices of the Binding Order
as determined pursuant to Section 5 “Prices” hereunder.
Any
cancellation, modification and/or reduction in the terms and conditions of a Binding Order by the Customer is subject to the prior
written approval of the Seller. Cancellation, modification or reduction of the Binding Order by the Customer may result in additional
charges to the Customer and the Seller reserves its rights to retain any advance payment made by the Customer.
All
sales of Products, except technical data, are made FCA – the place specified by the Seller, as this term is defined in the
Incoterms 2010 publication issued by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “FCA - Incoterm”).
Sales
of technical data are made DAP – the place specified by the Customer as this term is defined in the Incoterms 2010 publication
issued by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “DAP - Incoterm”).
If
appropriate, the Products will be packed in accordance with the relevant specifications including, in particular, ATA specification
300. For technical data, software documentation and their respective revisions, packing and shipment shall be carried out by the
adequate transportation method reasonably appropriate in the Seller’s opinion, including in an electronic format. In the
event technical data, software, documentation and their respective revisions are provided online, they shall be considered delivered
once the Seller’s notice of availability is electronically sent to the Customer.

Claims
against the Seller for shortages or apparent defects must be received by the Seller in written form within thirty (30) days of
the delivery of the Products and Services to the Customer. After this period and even in the absence of a formal acceptance document,
the Products and Services shall be deemed definitively accepted by the Customer.
EXPEDITE
service is proposed by the Seller to the Customer, to expedite Products twenty-four (24) hours a day all year, when the Customer
qualifies relevant orders as A.O.G (aircraft on ground), CRITICAL (imminent A.O.G or workstoppage) or EXPEDITE (less than published
or quoted lead time), pursuant to and in the circumstances described in the “World Airline Suppliers’ Guide”, in the
version published as of the date of the Order by Air Transport Association of America. The Seller reserves the rights to verify
the accuracy of the A.O.G or CRITICAL or EXPEDITE qualification made by the Customer and to apply additional fees in case of inappropriate
qualification of the Order, to cover corresponding costs for the Seller.
The
Seller reserves the rights to charge additional fees in case the Customer has not nominated a forwarder as of the date of the
Order.
The
Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the agreed delivery schedule.
HOWEVER,
DELIVERY DATES ARE APPROXIMATE AND THE SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, WHICH MAY RESULT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM ANY DELAY IN THE DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Seller shall be entitled to make partial deliveries and/or partial performance.
With
respect to sales of Product(s), title to the Product(s) delivered to the Customer shall remain with the Seller until full payment
of the entire price of the Product(s) including principal and interest, and penalties, if any, has been received by the Seller.
Notwithstanding
the above, the Customer will bear all risk of loss of the Products in accordance with the Incoterm specified in Section 3.
Prices
for the Products and Services are available in the relevant Seller’s catalogue or provided upon the Customer’s request
to the Seller.
All
prices are net and FCA or DAP, as applicable pursuant to Section 3 above. All prices are exclusive of any taxes or duties that
may be levied in connection with the performance of any Binding Order, and that shall be paid by the Customer.
Except
in case of error or omission by the Seller in the price preparation or in case of a material adverse evolution of any manufacturing
costs, prices will remain firm during the applicable calendar year.
Unless
otherwise notified by the Seller, any quotation issued by the Seller constitutes a firm and valid offer for ninety (90) days from
the date of the quotation, except for requests received within the last ninety (90) days of a calendar year, in which case the
Seller’s quotations are valid until the end of such calendar year, unless otherwise stated in the quotation.

Seller reserves the right to charge the Customer for studies, documents or drawings executed in response to a particular Customer’s

and Services subject to yearly subscription at the price indicated in the CSC valid at the date of the invoice or in the relevant
quotation or other contractual document as applicable.

Seller shall invoice Products and Services subject to successive deliveries over more than one (1) year taking into account the
yearly escalation formula provided upon request or included into the corresponding quotation. Such escalation shall apply to the
remaining price to be paid regardless of any down-payment which may have been requested in accordance with Section 6 of the Terms.

All
proprietary information contained in the Products and Services and their respective documentation, including but not limited to
patent, copyright, drawings, formulae, data, model, descriptions studies, codes and/or other information relating to the design,
assembly, composition, manufacture, performance, application, or operation of the Products and Services, and/or any information
marked as “Proprietary”, “Confidential” or with some other similar marking or denomination or all information
that the Customer knows or should reasonably know is confidential (collectively the “Confidential Information”) are
and will remain the exclusive property of the Seller and/or its Affiliates as the case may be. Those proprietary rights will also
apply to any translation into a language or languages or media that may be performed or caused to be performed by the Customer,
if so authorised by the Seller.
The
supply of the Confidential Information will not be construed as a further right for the Customer to design or manufacture any
aircraft or part thereof or spare part. Whenever the Seller authorises the Customer to manufacture certain items, such authorisation
shall not be construed as express or implicit approval of the Customer and/or of such manufactured items.
The
Customer shall limit access to Confidential Information to its employees solely having a need to know and shall not use it for
any other purposes than those for which the Confidential Information has been communicated.
Confidential
Information is supplied to the Customer for the sole use of the Customer who shall not disclose it or any part thereof to any
third party without the prior written consent of the Seller, save as permitted herein. Nevertheless, when disclosure of Confidential
Information is required pursuant to any mandatory government or legal requirement imposed upon the Customer, the Customer shall
give the Seller prompt notice of any such request for disclosure, in due time, so that the Seller may seek an appropriate protective
order.
The
Customer shall protect the Confidential Information with, at least, the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential
Information, but in no instance shall such standard be less than reasonable care for highly sensitive data.
Data
pertaining to the operation, maintenance, configuration and/or modification of aircraft that are made available to the Seller
in the frame of the supply of the Products and Services can be shared by the Seller with its Affiliates, suppliers, co-contractors,
partners, advisors and agents, bound by confidentiality obligations, who can, as can the Seller, and until otherwise notified
by the Customer by registered mail to the Seller, use, analyse, aggregate, process, duplicate, transfer, modify, combine

Exhibit 99.1
Aircom Pacific Signs Firm Agreement with
Airbus
FREMONT, Calif., Dec 03, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Aerkomm Inc. (“Aerkomm”) (OTCQB: AKOM), a provider of in-flight broadband entertainment and connectivity solutions,
today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Aircom Pacific, Inc. (“Aircom”), has entered into a firm agreement
with Airbus for the development by Airbus of a complete solution to install Aircom’s “
AERKOMM®K++”
In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (“IFEC”) system. The agreement supercedes a memorandum of understanding
that was signed by Aircom and Airbus in March 2018.
Once the Aerkomm
®
K++
system has been certified with Airbus design organization approval and has obtained the relevant certifications from aviation regulators,
the
AERKOMM®K++
system will become available for installation
on Airbus Corporate Jets (“ACJ”) single aisle aircraft as well as Airbus’ airline commercial aircraft equivalents
for post delivery modification.
“This agreement is a milestone for
our company,” Mr. Jeffrey Wun, CEO of Aerkomm, commented. “Having this firm agreement with Airbus in place, we now
have a time frame for the regulatory approval and commercialization of our IFEC
AERKOMM®K++
system. As important, this agreement with Airbus reflects an affirmation of our technology by aviation industry leaders
such as Airbus. Further, now that our IFEC system will have an approved retrofit solution by Airbus, we expect that the aviation
industries in countries such as China will be more likely to accept our IFEC products for their registered aircraft. We look forward
to the ongoing development of this collaboration with Airbus.”
More details about this agreement can be
found in the company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
