Hong Kong Airlines to Upgrade IFE with Aircom Pacific

Aircom Pacific, through its Taiwanese representative Klingon Aerospace, has been selected to install inflight entertainment and connectivity systems onboard Hong Kong Airlines aircraft.

“This is a major milestone for Aircom Pacific. We are grateful that Hong Kong Airlines has chosen us to be their inflight entertainment and connectivity service provider. I am sure that Hong Kong Airlines’ passengers will be amazed by Aircom Pacific’s services,” said Aircom Pacific’s CEO, Mr. Jan-Yung Lin.

Aircom Pacific’s system features dual Ka and Ku band antennas, providing Ka band connectivity where it is available, and using the Ku connection for areas that do not have Ka coverage.

Utilizing this system allows airlines to take real time payments for duty free purchases, offer direct streaming TV and videos with thousands of channels and offer services on board not previously possible or available.

Real time offers of travel insurance, hotel booking options, rental cars and other travel services are also now possible for passengers directly from the comfort of their seat.

Director of Hong Kong Airlines, Mr. Stanley Kan, said, “This co-operation with Aircom Pacific promises our passengers a brand new experience in the air.”

Hong Kong Airlines also signed a MOU relating to Aircom Pacific’s AirCinema system.
