Tigerair Australia seeks A320 device solution

Tigerair Australia is looking at “bring your own device” (BYOD) intranet solutions for its remaining Airbus A320s, as it transitions to an all-Boeing 737-800 fleet. The move follows Tigerair Australia’s July 2016 decision to swap from an all-A320 fleet to 737-800s over the coming 3 years. Tigerair Australia has already taken 4 737-800s from parent carrier Virgin Australia, which it used on international routes to Bali, Indonesia until these services were discontinued. The 737s are equipped with Kontron hardware and Arconics’ CloudStore software. This is an offline solution, where content like films, TV shows and music are manually uploaded to the aircraft once a month and accessed via passengers’ own devices. Passengers can use the TV and music services free of charge, but there is an US$7 fee for the film content. <br/>
