<p>We’ve helped take the experience of air travel to new heights, delivering value to both airlines and passengers alike. Our vision is to pioneer the passenger experiences that make our airline partners the most valuable, desirable, and differentiated. With over 2.7 billion passengers spending a total of over 16 billion hours on Panasonic In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) systems, we know how important it is to adapt and evolve our offerings to meet the demands of the airline market.</p>

<h3>Helping airlines offer you the latest in air travel innovation</h3>
<p>The role of IFEC systems is growing – from great hardware that shows the latest blockbusters to “digital endpoints” that have dynamic uses according to need. Just as smart phones redefined what was cell phones could be in the 2010’s, this industry shift will unlock new ways for airlines and passengers to get the most value out of their time traveling.</p>
<p>Whether it’s our new digital solutions portfolio, services enabled by a world-class connected in-flight experience, or relying on our 40 years of experience in research, technology, and manufacturing, Panasonic Avionics leads the industry in working with our airline partners to pioneer the future of in-flight entertainment.</p>

<p>Airlines with in-flight entertainment typically select a moving map that helps to answer the age-old in-flight questions of “Where are we?” and “How much longer do we have in the flight?” Panasonic Avionics’ new 3D interactive moving map platform Arc™ gives you everything you’d expect in a standalone map – and so much more. With one out of every seven interactions with the in-flight entertainment system being with the map, Panasonic’s Arc™ serves as a gateway to exploring the world beneath you.</p>

<h3>Map discovery for travelers of all ages</h3>
<p>Airline travel has shown encouraging signs of life over the past few months – and certain groups are more ready to travel than others. Families who isolated at home together will be first to travel, particularly family units that include Millennials and Gen Z. That means focusing on engagement with families moving forward will be a key recovery opportunity for the travel and hospitality industries. It is this opportunity that makes the debut of Arc™ for Young Explorers, a new feature set within Panasonic’s Arc™ map, particularly timely.</p>

<p>Already in the air with several airlines – and soon to debut on over 20 airlines total – Arc™ won’t just answer “What’s outside the window?” Soon, you’ll be able to interactively explore your destination, perhaps even book and plan activities – all from 30,000 feet in the sky.<br />

            <div class="field field--name-field-ces-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><h3>Over-the-air content updates</h3>
<p>Loading media, content and software onto aircraft has long been a time-consuming, tedious process. It required frontline technicians having to board planes to make manual updates. All told, a shipment could take weeks. Now, it takes a couple days – with no in-person loading required.</p>
<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vl1X7DRWNVs" title="YouTube video player" width="800"></iframe></p>
<h3>A newfound need for less touch</h3>
<p>Though ZeroTouch™’s timing on the market may coincide with COVID-19, it was built to respond to the mounting challenge of tighter-than-ever turn times – an increasingly important issue even before the pandemic. Now that we’re in the COVID-19 era, any opportunity to complete tasks remotely should be seized. This is true not just for safety reasons, but to attenuate the effects of smaller workforces, and to add value to airlines’ passenger offerings at this critical time. Whatever the reason for an airline’s implementation, though, the possibility of quick, remote loading is an exciting breakthrough for the airline industry.</p>
<p>With ZeroTouch™, content available for viewing in-flight is no longer subject to a rigid monthly or quarterly physical refresh, making near-live and limited-run special content much more likely to be available. In fact, one airline <a href="https://www.panasonic.aero/blog-post/remote-control-how-westjet-is-cutting-media-load-times-by-85/" target="_blank">cut load times by 85%</a> utilizing ZeroTouch™. Additionally, airlines using ZeroTouch™ will be able to quickly ascertain guest trends and pivot their products to match demand – without overly stressing the manpower historically required to introduce new features.</p>
