Marco Prud’Homme, President of OWG and Nolinor Aviation
“In the current climate, so much focus is rightly on passenger safety on board. But when we announced OWG, I said our goal is to get travellers excited again,” .
With Bluebox Wow offering movies and other entertainment, passengers can look forward to their time on board being a relaxing and enjoyable experience.”
Kevin Clark, CEO of Bluebox.
“Every new deployment is positive for us but this one is particularly special given the state of our industry this year – being part of a new airline intent on providing passengers an exceptional experience on board as they head off to much-anticipated holidays in the sun is very exciting,”
A positive sign in these dark times
Airlines are continuing to evolve their service offerings – even start-ups like OWG. And airlines – like most industries – have supply chains and suppliers.
Whilst the pandemic has played with the deployments, it’s good to see smaller IFE suppliers thrive in these times.
