Global Eagle Entertainment, a worldwide provider of aircraft connectivity systems, operations solutions and media content to the travel industry, today announced new deals with commercial airlines worldwide that puts mission-critical flight data at the fingertips of pilots and operations teams. Three airlines from Europe, Asia and South America signed strategic agreements for GEE’s electronic flight bag (EFB) solutions and certifications, providing a seamless migration path to connected aircraft benefits and efficiencies. A growing number of airlines are replacing their traditional pilot flight bags carrying cumbersome paper-based flight documents with GEE’s navAero tablet-based electronic flight bag solutions, boosting operational productivity and improving the overall passenger experience. GEE’s proprietary navAero EFB equipment is now installed on more than 3,500 aircraft worldwide. Wizz Air, the largest ultra low-cost carrier in Central and Eastern Europe, offering over 380 routes and 112 destinations across 38 countries in Europe and beyond, will begin installations of the navAero EFB tablet mounts on its A320 fleet later this year. Hong Kong Airlines, with flights across its A320 and A330 fleets to nearly 30 cities throughout Asia, will utilize navAero’s tablet mount hardware and EFB platform, including the new Apple iPad family holder for simultaneous iPad integration without STC changes.
