1. A system for distributing media content to a plurality of aircraft, comprising:
- a first local controller disposed on a first aircraft of said plurality of aircraft, said first local controller configured to receive media content from one or more wireless connections; and
a regional controller comprising;
a first server configured to store a set of media content for delivery to said plurality of aircraft;
a software module configured to select one or more items of media content from said set of media content, said selection based at least in part on a media content prioritization criteria associated with said first aircraft; and
a base station communicatively coupled to the first server and the first local controller to facilitate transfer of said one or more items of media content to said first aircraft via a wireless connection.
