Riyadh Air has selected Panasonic Avionics Corporation as its official IFE partner. Anton Vidgen, Vice President of Guest Experience, made the announcement on the Mainstage at APEX Global EXPO in Long Beach, California, on October 28.
Panasonic's Astrova IFE solution will be installed on Riyadh Air’s 787-9 fleet, allowing passengers to view content on 4K OLED HDR 10+ screens that feature cinema-quality visuals.
“Our partnership with Panasonic Avionics represents a significant step forward in our mission to redefine the guest experience,” said Vidgen. “By equipping our fleet with Panasonic Avionics’ advanced inflight entertainment systems, we are ensuring that our guests enjoy a seamless, immersive, and world-class experience from takeoff to landing. This is truly groundbreaking in many ways as it brings together many different elements of IFE innovation in one platform and by not having a legacy, we are able to take advantage of the latest generation in hardware and software to deliver a similar experience to what we’re used to at home.”
