ACARS is a digital data link system transmitted via VHF radio which allows airline flight operations departments to communicate with the various aircraft in their fleet.

READ ON, READ ON.

ACARS routes communications via ARINC computers, relieving some of the necessity for routine voice communication. ITEMS SUCH AS DEPARTURE ERPORTS, arrival reports, PASSENGER LOADS, fuel data, engine performance data, ARE REQUESTED BY THE AIRLINE OPERATIONS AND RETRIEVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT AT AUTOMATIC INTERVALS. http://www.rannoch.com/labf.html
Before the advent of ACARS, flight crews had to use VHF to relay this data to their operations on the ground.

See RH,
there IS a connection between the airline and ACARS and ARINC and the BTS.
And you found this out for yourself, once you went and had a look.
Isn't Google wonderful?
