Panasonic Avionics Corporation has announced a new agreement with Ethiopian Airlines to equip the airline's upcoming Boeing 777X fleet with its Astrova in-flight entertainment solution. This installation will be included in eight Boeing 777-9 aircraft that Ethiopian Airlines has ordered, with the first expected to enter service in 2028.

The collaboration underscores Panasonic Avionics' commitment to expanding its presence in Africa and aligns with Ethiopian Airlines' strategy of enhancing passenger experiences through advanced technology. The Astrova system promises an immersive experience featuring 4K OLED HDR10+ screens for high-definition visuals and premium audio via Bluetooth technology.

Passengers will benefit from up to 100W USB-C power at their seats, allowing fast charging of personal devices throughout the flight. Additionally, the system includes programmable LED lighting aimed at improving comfort and ambiance during travel.
