Singapore Airlines (SIA) has signed an agreement worth nearly USD$400 million to equip its aircraft with advanced in-flight entertainment and communication systems in a bid to gain an advantage over other carriers.
Under the agreement, Panasonic Avionics will equip over 40 SIA planes with a system that can provide broadband internet and global live television.
The deal will equip 20 Airbus A350s due for delivery from 2014, 15 Airbus A330-300s and eight Boeing 777-300ERs, the Singapore flag carrier said on Wednesday.
