IFPL Group‘s Cobalt Spectrum LED mood lighting system, complete with wireless control, has been chosen by Finnair for the cabin enhancement of its Embraer fleet.

The Cobalt Spectrum LED mood lighting system enhances passenger experience by offering customisable lighting options that foster a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere during flights. With its innovative wireless technology, the system allows for seamless adjustments to light colour and intensity at the touch of a button, enabling Finnair to tailor the cabin ambiance to meet passengers’ specific needs.

“We are thrilled to partner with Finnair again in upgrading the cabins of their fleet of twelve E-190 Embraer aircraft with our Cobalt Spectrum mood lighting. This collaboration will bring fresh and inviting cabin illumination, incorporating familiar elements from Finnair’s recently redesigned long-haul cabins,” said Tommy Nelms, Vice President of Global Sales at IFPL Group. “Our cutting-edge technology will not only enhance the passenger experience but also align with Finnair’s commitment to providing exceptional service and comfort to its customers.”

Renowned for its dedication to delivering world-class service and outstanding in-flight experiences, Finnair’s adoption of IFPL Group’s Cobalt Spectrum LED mood lighting system for its Embraer fleet is a testament to this commitment. IFPL Group, the parent company of Inflight Peripherals Ltd and Cobalt Aerospace, specialises in aerospace design and production. Both companies develop and manufacture products that elevate aircraft cabin interiors and enrich passenger experiences, including solutions for entertainment, power, connectivity, lighting, and safety. Each product is designed to optimise air travel for passengers, crew and operators alike.
