(“Panasonic”) to
equip its new fleet
of Boeing
Dreamliners with
global connectivity
and the world’s
leading inflight

Xiamen

of the Sky Team
alliance that began
international
operations this year
with a service
between Xiamen and
Amsterdam, will
equip six of its
Boeing 787-8s with
Panasonic’s inflight
Wi-Fi service as
well as its eX3
entertainment
system. The system
will allow Xiamen

passengers
hi-definition
screens and more
than 700 hours of
on-demand audio and
video entertainment.
This can include up
to 120 movies, 180
television programs,
350 audio selections
and 30 games.
Panasonic
through its

only provider of
Wi-Fi authorized to
offer inflight Wi-Fi

mainland China.
Panasonic
Avionics President

said: “We’re proud
that an airline as
ambitious as Xiamen
has chosen Panasonic
to bring its
passengers the very
best the industry
can offer. The
powerful combination

unique experience
for Xiamen’s
passengers.”
