Air Europa has chosen Panasonic Avionics
Corporation’s (Panasonic) eX3 and eXConnect in-flight
entertainment and communications solutions for its new
787-8 Dreamliner fleet.
It will become the first airline in Spain to offer
in-flight broadband by choosing Panasonic's – Ku-band
satellite service - the only global network solely
dedicated to aviation.
This eXConnect service enables passengers to access the
Internet, compose and send email, log onto their
favorite social media sites, and more right from a
connected seatback or their own personal electronic
devices.
eX3 is Panasonic’s tenth generation
and most advanced IFEC solution. It leverages
uncompromising industrial design, high-definition
display technologies, a portfolio of advanced capacitive
touch handsets, and the latest advances in surround
sound to create a home theater atmosphere that draws
passengers into the airline's unique experience.
Juan José Hidalgo, Air Europa’s CEO, said: “This
exciting development emphasizes our commitment to
provide the very best service to our customers with the
very best technology, on board the best aircraft with
the finest crew. We are delighted to extend our
partnership with Panasonic.”
