Panasonic Avionics to Equip 60 Aeromexico Aircraft With Latest IFE Technology
SINGAPORE, October 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Boeing 737 MAX fleet will be equipped with most advanced linefit inflight
entertainment (IFE) system for single-aisle aircraftÂ
Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic) and Aeromexico, Mexico's Global airline,
today announced the extension of their long-running partnership. The new agreement will
see 60 Boeing 737 MAX with Panasonic's most advanced linefit IFE system for single-aisle
aircraft.
eX1 will offer Aeromexico passengers a familiar, easy-to-use, personalised interface
that has been designed for an optimal viewing experience. This is backed by the industry's
largest library of games, audio and video.
Panasonic's IFE system also provides airlines with a business platform that drives
additional revenue and promotes greater brand loyalty by offering a consistently engaging
experience with the highest levels of personalization.
Each system can be seamlessly combined with broadband connectivity to deliver high
value services such as targeted advertising, concierge services, communications, social
networking, streaming live television, phone services, and real-time commerce.
Paul Margis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Panasonic Avionics said:
"Panasonic has a long and distinguished partnership with Aeromexico, and we're proud to
develop it further with the announcement of these 60 additional aircraft. The enhanced
partnership means Aeromexico will now be able to deliver the same entertainment experience
of its 787 fleet to its narrow body aircraft."
Antonio Fernandez, Aeromexico's VP Product Design and Service Standards adds:Â "At
Aeromexico, we are always looking for new ways to offer our passengers the most premium
experience across our fleet of aircraft. Panasonic's new IFE system means that we can
deliver engaging content for all flyers, whether short or long-haul, driving loyalty and
enhancing the customer experience."
Panasonic works hand in hand with seat designers and manufacturers to create fully
integrated IFE systems that give passengers maximum control of the seat environment. Its
systems act as a powerful business and marketing platform for airlines, making it easy for
passengers to browse and buy goods and services inflight whilst enjoying carefully curated
content that reflects the airline brand.
