Aerospace solutions provider Fokker Services Group (FSG) has won an order from SriLankan Airlines to upgrade its Airbus A320 and A330 fleets with a new electronic flight bag (EFB) provision solution.
The order makes SriLankan Airlines the launch customer of the revamped EFB solution which features a USB-C outlet and DC-DC converter, and replaces the existing ‘Spider Mount’ with a ‘Pivot Mount’ which can hold the latest generation iPads.
Pilots use iPads as EFBs during flights, providing access to critical digital information such as flight manuals, checklists, and real-time navigation and weather data.
Vipul Misra, head of engineering at SriLankan Airlines, said: “We have had a good longstanding relationship with FSG since 2013 where they offered us the existing EFB solution. To ensure the longevity of the EFB upgrade solution, with future upgrades in mind, we implemented a strict selection process, and FSG was able to deliver a solution that fulfilled all our criteria.
“As the launching customer for this new USB-C installation, we worked together to accomplish this milestone in bringing the fleet to modernised solutions.”
