Panasonic named IFE Provider for Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Boeing has selected Panasonic as a recommended in-flight entertainment (IFE) provider for the all-new 787 Dreamliner.

Panasonic will offer a wireless version of its X-Series platform, called X-Series Wireless, for the 787. The platform will enable airlines to offer passengers a comprehensive selection of advanced entertainment, information and communications features. The wireless distribution system will also provide airlines with increased flexibility for changing cabin configurations.

Panasonic is the second IFE provider named for the 787.

Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 787 program said, "Together with our international partners we are introducing technologies that will make flying more enjoyable for passengers and create a better value proposition for our customers."

This is the second 787 work package for Panasonic, which was earlier selected to provide the airplane's cabin services system.
