  • The Panasonic Astrova installation brings 4K OLED displays, Bluetooth audio and greater personalization, reinforcing the importance of connected, high-resolution IFE in long-haul product competition.
  • The 2027 timing gives suppliers and operators a defined window for cabin modification planning, certification and aircraft downtime management.
