Inflight Dublin Secures Contract to Supply Everhub™ Wireless IFE Solution for Copa Airlines’ Entire 737 Fleet
Dublin, Ireland – 29th October 2024: Inflight Dublin, a leading provider of in-flight entertainment (IFE) and wireless streaming solutions, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the contract to supply its innovative Everhub™ wireless IFE solution across Copa Airlines’ Boeing 737 fleet. This significant partnership marks a major milestone in enhancing the passenger experience on Copa Airlines, one of Latin America’s most prestigious carriers.
Inflight Dublin was selected after a considerable testing process and market analysis by Copa Airlines, which is testament to Everhub’s™ capabilities. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, Everhub™ allows the airline to build an ecosystem of services that passengers can access directly through their personal devices. This ensures a personalized and convenient experience, tailored to the needs and preferences of each passenger.
Copa Airlines will also be deploying the aircraft powered configuration of Everhub, which includes integration with a number of discrete signals from the aircraft to enable more automation and minimise crew interaction (for example automatic playback pause for passenger announcements, fasten seat belt messages and establishing connectivity when on the ground).
Speaking about the new partnership, Philip McCarthy, Commercial Director of Inflight Dublin, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Copa Airlines and bring our Everhub™ solution to its 737 fleet. This partnership underlines our commitment to delivering cutting-edge in-flight entertainment solutions that enhance the passenger experience. We look forward to working closely with Copa Airlines to provide their passengers with an unparalleled inflight experience.”
Copa Airlines, headquartered in Panama City, Panama, operates one of the most modern fleets in the region and is renowned for its excellent service and punctuality. By implementing the Everhub™ wireless IFE solution, Copa Airlines aims to further elevate its in-flight offering, providing passengers with high-quality entertainment options and a more enjoyable travel experience.
Diana Mizrachi, Senior Director Customer Experience of Copa Airlines, commented, “At Copa Airlines, we are dedicated to improving the travel experience for our passengers. Partnering with Inflight Dublin to introduce the Everhub™ wireless IFE solution is a testament to our commitment to excellence. We are excited to offer our passengers this enhanced entertainment option, ensuring a more enjoyable and memorable journey.”
The rollout of the Everhub™ wireless IFE solution on Copa Airlines’ Boeing 737 fleet commenced in July 24 with an ambitious schedule to install across a further 60 aircraft by the end of 2025. Inflight Dublin will provide comprehensive support and training throughout the installation to ensure optimal performance of the new system.
