Emteq has announced retrofit specialist Flying Colours as the launch customer for its new eConnect cabin management system. The equipment will feature in Bombardier CRJ aircraft upgraded by Flying Colours, and Emteq is also now offering it for retrofit on Airbus A320 family aircraft, including the ACJ models.

The eConnect product, about the size of a standard briefcase, is evolutionary, according to program manager Greg Cornell. “There are three functionalities in this one little box. Through it the user can control lights, cabin temperatures, window shades, plus, their interface also becomes a portal for streaming movies, audio and the Internet,” he explained. “It’s all built into the eConnect line replaceable unit. This is a wonderful single-box solution that saves weight and complex installation.”
