REDEFINING THE END-TO-END PASSENGER EXPERIENCE AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
FTE explores a range of innovations from Airbus, Zodiac, Panasonic Avionics, Cadami, United Screens, 3D SeatMap VR, THK and P3 that can help to redefine the on board passenger experience.
The new Extreme Throughput Satellite (XTS) will provide Panasonic customers with multiple gigahertz of new Ku-band capacity over China and around East Asia using narrow XTS spot beams.
The low-cost carrier will soon introduce a 56-seat premium economy cabin and will offer inflight Wi-Fi on its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
The deal covers at least 58 of United’s new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and will support high-speed Wi-Fi, VPN access and wireless IFE.
Aeromexico will install 2Ku on an additional nine Boeing 737-800NGs, bringing the total number of aircraft equipped with the Ku-band solution to 29.
Panasonic Avionics says its third-generation network is built to meet the growing connectivity demands of airlines and their passengers.
