<p>A method for accessing datalink communications for an aircraft is provided. The method comprises providing a pre-selected datafink service provider for aircraft communications, detecting a datalink service provider supplying air traffic control (ATC) communication services, and determining whether the detected datalink service provider is the same as the pre-selected datalink service provider. If the detected datalink service provider is not the same as the pre-selected datalink service provider, a communication link is established with the detected datalink service provider for ATC messages, while a communication link is maintained with the pre-selected datalink service provider for non-ATC messages. If the detected datalink service provider is the same as the pre-selected datalink service provider, a communication link is maintained with the pre-selected datalink service provider for both ATC messages and non-ATC messages.
