Icelandair, the flag carrier of Iceland, is the first airline to implement Astrova, the advanced in-flight entertainment (IFE) system by Panasonic Avionics. This new system debuted during the delivery flight of Icelandair's first A321neo LR aircraft.
Passengers on Icelandair's A321neo LRs will experience Astrova's cutting-edge features, including 4K OLED HDR10+ displays that offer precise colour reproduction, infinite contrast ratios and deep blacks. The aircraft is equipped with 16-inch screens in Business Class and 13-inch screens in Economy Class.
The system also offers high-quality sound with Spatial Audio, compatible with wired headsets or wireless headphones via Panasonic Avionics' Bluetooth® technology. Additionally, passengers will have access to 67W USB-C power outlets at each seat, allowing them to fast-charge devices such as laptops.
Astrova enhances the onboard atmosphere with programmable LED lighting, designed to align with various flight phases, including meal service, improving passenger comfort and experience.
Icelandair has also adopted several other digital solutions from Panasonic Avionics, such as Arc™, ZeroTouch™ and OneMedia. These systems aim to improve operational efficiency and enhance the passenger journey through data-driven technologies.
Arc™ provides a 3-D moving map with detailed points of interest to enrich the travel experience. ZeroTouch™ enables seamless updates of content and files on Icelandair's aircraft, ensuring up-to-date in-flight offerings. OneMedia delivers personalised advertisements and promotes products, creating additional revenue opportunities for the airline.
With the integration of Astrova and these advanced solutions, Icelandair is taking steps to provide passengers with a modern and connected travel experience while streamlining its operations.
