Lufthansa Systems launches new financing model for in-flight connectivity

Lufthansa Systems says that in response to growing demand in the aviation industry for partially or fully financed IFEC solutions, is cooperating with technology partners to offer a flexible new refinancing approach for making on-board entertainment and Internet attractive to airlines of all sizes with different business models. “Many providers offer financing models, but they often lack an understanding of the aviation industry. We are closing this gap with our expertise in IFEC solutions and with BoardConnect, an open IT platform that allows hosted applications to be integrated into the IFEC system,” said Jan-Peter Gänse, Head of Passenger Experience Products
