Continental Selects eX2

Panasonic Avionics, Lake Forest, Calif., said Continental Airlines selected its eX2 in-flight entertainment (IFE) system for its 787aircraft slated to be delivered in 2009. Panasonic said the 787 eX2 system will closely match Continental’s 777-200ER aircraft that delivered earlier this year. Continental is retrofitting the eX2 on its 777-200ER fleet and will have a total of 20 777-200ER aircraft in service with the eX2 system by mid 2009. The eX2 system allows airlines increased storage, increased passengers per audio/video server and faster loading times.
