Rockwell Collins’ EICU solution ready to launch with Azul Airlines

Azul Airlines pilots will be able to more effectively link electronic flight bags with onboard and external networks with Rockwell Collins’ new Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Interface and Communication Unit (EICU) developed in partnership with Airbus. This secure server router solution is being certified by Airbus on the A320neo and A330neo families of aircraft. The EICU will debut from 2017 onwards on 63 Airbus A320neos from Azul Airlines and is available now as an option. The EICU system is part of Rockwell Collins extensive portfolio of information-enabled flight deck router solutions. The EICU brings value to Azul Airlines by improving data security while lowering their costs for data transmission, flight operations and maintenance.
