SIA opts for Panasonic IFE in new A350s, 787s

SIA has signed a deal with Panasonic Avionics to supply inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) across the carrier’s upcoming Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-10 deliveries. The deal will see the new aircraft delivered with Panasonic’s broadband-connected multi-channel eX3 entertainment offering. SIA said the new IFEC system will offer a “custom-tailored [experience] for an enhanced KrisWorld experience.” The eX3 system can link into the company’s Global Communication Services (GCS) provisioning to enable more than 1Tbyte of entertainment as well as customised on-board broadband internet-based communications. The company said the system will “deliver higher levels of personalisation … and unrivalled opportunities around passenger engagement and value delivery.” <br/>
