De Havilland Canada and Bluebox Aviation Systems have announced their collaboration, offering Bluebox’s Blueview digital services platform as a new solution for De Havilland’s Dash 8-400 aircraft.

Blueview, deployed on the Bluebox Wow wireless streaming system, can be offered as a new discrete service on the turboprops or as a way of extending a digital passenger experience available on other aircraft in an airline’s fleet to passengers on Dash 8-400 aircraft, ensuring a consistent fleet-wide passenger experience.

Jean-Philippe Côté, Vice-President, Programs and Business Improvement, De Havilland Canada, said: “By partnering with Bluebox, a digital passenger experience is added to the options available to our team as they support retrofit opportunities around the world.

“And 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,” Côté added.

Blueview is a software suite that provides a browser-based portal through which passengers can view and access a range of digital services on board, including onboard retail and in-flight entertainment.

Bluebox Wow is a portable and lightweight solution, easily deployed in overhead lockers. It is scalable and available in a portable battery-operated version or a certified solution with a fitted partition, aircraft power, and further options.
