Aeroflyer picks Bluebox Aviation Systems to provide wireless streaming services

New charter airline Aeroflyer has selected Bluebox Aviation Systems to provide wireless streaming services across its Boeing 737 fleet.

Aeroflyer will initially be deploying Bluebox’s digital platform on its first two aircraft using Bluebox’s battery-powered Bluebox Wow hardware and will then migrate to the aircraft-powered version of Bluebox Wow as the airline’s fleet grows.

Brad Schroeder, Manager, Engineering, said: “Launching a new airline on the back of the most challenging times our sector has endured meant we had to come away from the gate with the most compelling offering available. With more passengers today expecting some kind of digital service on board, it was a case of W-IFE being a must-have.

“Just as we work with our airline and corporate charter customers to deliver excellence, we know how important it is to have partners who excel in what they do, are flexible and supportive.

“Throughout the pandemic Bluebox has helped us to configure a digital platform on a hardware configuration that will suit our needs as a charter airline as it grows, with the variety of purpose required for an IFE system offering today.”

Bluebox CEO Kevin Clark said: “These are exciting times as we come out of the pandemic with our existing customers returning to and enhancing their Bluebox deployments and new airlines like Aeroflyer entrusting us in introducing a flexible and powerful digital platform to deliver a rich in-flight experience from service launch.”

Bluebox’s digital engagement platform provides digital services and content streamed to passenger devices in any aircraft cabin. Bluebox Wow is a lunchbox-sized unit which will typically be stowed securely in overhead bins.
