Mumbai, Jan 4 (UNI) Kingfisher Airlines today announced the induction of the world's first and only ATR 72-500 aircraft, facilitating in-flight entertainment system (IFE).
The aircraft is the sixth ATR 72-500 delivered to Kingfisher Airlines. All ATR aircraft delivered to the Airlines henceforth will be equipped with IFE, a statement issued here today said.
The new ATR aircraft will have 17 LCD colour screens spread throughout the cabin. The TV screens operate on a drop down mechanism and no headphones or earphones are required since the audio comes through overhead speakers.
Kingfisher Airlines executive Vice President Hitesh Patel said in the statement, ''The initiative of facilitating IFE onboard our ATR fleet has been made possible due to our conviction as well as the technical prowess of both the Kingfisher Airlines team as well as that of ATR.'' The new IFE, proposed as an option both in ATR 42-500 and ATR 72-500, was certified last November and can be installed on new aircraft during production or also retrofitted on aircraft already delivered.
