PR Newswire (US)
LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Avionics
Corporation (Panasonic), the world leader in state-of-the-art
in-flight entertainment and communication (IFEC) systems, today
announced that it has been selected to provide in-flight
entertainment systems on three (3) Airbus A320 narrow-body aircraft
owned by Tel Aviv-based Israir Airlines. The first aircraft is
equipped with the Panasonic Digital Multiplexed Passenger
Entertainment System (DMPES), an overhead in-flight entertainment
system. The Panasonic DMPES is an audio and video distribution
in-flight entertainment system for narrow-body aircraft such as the
A320. The system uses the latest technology that incorporates
Panasonic's X Series System, which reduces space, weight and power
when compared with traditional overhead systems. The 10.4" touch
screen Crew Panel provides a user friendly and easy access point
for the crew. "We are very pleased to have Israir as a new customer
and are looking forward to working closely with them to manage and
support their IFEC System," said Paul Margis, Chief Executive
Officer of Panasonic Avionics Corporation. "Israir's selection of
Panasonic's in-flight entertainment system will help strengthen the
airline's competitive advantage by taking the in-flight experience
to a higher level for its passengers." "We are very impressed with
Panasonic's global support network, and having local support based
in Tel Aviv was important in our decision to choose the Panasonic
DMPES," said Mr. Tamir Jacoby, Service Manager at Israir. "Also,
the quality and innovation of the product is in line with the high
expectations of our passengers, who want a rich and seamless
ground-to-air in-flight entertainment experience." Established in
1996, Israir is Israel's second largest carrier, offering both
domestic flights and international flights between Israel and major
destinations in the Mediterranean Basin and Europe. In 2007 Israir
became the first Airbus customer in Israel with the purchase of
three A320 aircraft. Its fleet also includes ATRs with seating for
50. About Panasonic Avionics Corporation Panasonic Avionics
