US-based Panasonic Avionics Corporation said that it will be providing inflight entertainment (IFE) for Kuwait Airways’ new fleet of eight Airbus A330-800neo aircraft.

Kuwait Airways will become the first airline in the world to operate the A330-800neo aircraft, starting in the second quarter of 2020 when it joins the airline’s existing fleet of Airbus A320 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft which are already equipped with Panasonic’s X series IFE experience.

With Panasonic’s full HD touch screens, touch video handsets, electronic device charging facilities, both universal and USB charging and more, together with comfortable seats and space, both Business and Economy class passengers will have a pleasant experience onboard Kuwait Airways, a Panasonic statement said.

Kuwait Airways has been flying in the Middle East region and worldwide since 1954, and this year celebrates its 65th anniversary. With optimum safety and an inflight experience that provides excellent passenger satisfaction, Kuwait Airways is a major leader in the aviation industry.

Ken Sain, chief executive officer of Panasonic Avionics Corporation, said: “As Kuwait Airways develops its long-haul network with the introduction of its new A330-800neo fleet, Panasonic Avionics is honoured to be their partner of choice in enhancing their inflight passenger experience.”

“Our X Series inflight entertainment systems are the most-awarded in the industry and we are confident that the memorable inflight experiences they create will help Kuwait Airways further increase passenger engagement and loyalty,” Sain added. – TradeArabia News Service
