Riyadh Air has adopted Panasonic Avionics’ cutting-edge in-flight entertainment system “Astrova”. It was announced at the APEX EXPO held in Long Beach, USA.
It will be implemented on Boeing 787-9 aircraft, offering various content including movie-quality videos and interactive features on a 4K OLED HDR 10+ screen.
Features such as continuous viewing between flights and pairing with smart devices will also be provided. A 100-watt (W) USB-C power supply is also available, aligning with the Saudi Arabian government’s mandate for USB-C compatibility on mobile phones by 2025.
On the other hand, it stated that it sees “no value in obsolete hardware,” such as corded handsets or slow wireless charging.
In Saudi Arabia’s airline industry, Saudia announced in June 2023 that it would similarly adopt “Astrova”. It was said to target 30 widebody aircraft.
