De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited signed an agreement with Bluebox Aviation Systems for digital solution on Dash 8-400 aircraft. With the Blueview and Bluebox Wow digital solution, the operators of Dash 8-400 can earn ancillary revenue whilst they engage and entertain their passengers with digital services such as onboard retail and in-flight entertainment, delivered wirelessly to passengers’ own devices.
“We’re excited to add Blueview and Bluebox Wow to our Fleet Solutions Catalogue and to be working together to offer digital passenger experiences to Dash 8-400 operators globally, demonstrating our commitment to offering our customers innovative solutions and ensuring their passengers have the best possible in-flight experience,” said Jean-Philippe Côté, Vice-President Programs and Business Improvement, De Havilland Canada. “By providing a Service Bulletin and certification, we are able to shorten not only the engineering timescales, but the time to market for operators to benefit from delivering digital services into the hands of their passengers as well.”
“Partnering with De Havilland Canada will help us bring the digital cabin to more airlines and more passengers worldwide, just as we’ve done by deploying our solutions on Dash 8-400 fleets for ANA and Air Inuit, enabling a digital in-flight experience for passengers on regional routes served by the turboprops,” said Paul Rayson, Business Development Director, Bluebox. “Now, with De Havilland Canada actively supporting the engineering and certification of the installation of our Bluebox Wow hardware, all operators of Dash 8-400 aircraft will find the deployment process even simpler and faster.”
Bluebox Wow helps airlines deploy digital services to passengers quickly and cost-effectively.
