Oman Air receives first Thales TopSeries IFE system

Oman Air’s first class passengers will be immersed in what Thales calls an unmatched flying experience with the largest widescreen in-seat displays available providing access to a variety of exciting applications all controlled by a custom designed wireless passenger control unit. The state of the art graphical user interface will also give business and economy passengers control of the same impressive list of entertaining and informative features.

“We found Thales to be the right company to work with on this programme as their system and services matched what we want for our passengers and operations, and the Thales people truly support our vision,” said Peter Hill, CEO of Oman Air. Beyond TopSeries, Oman Air has selected the Thales TopCare turnkey maintenance service, which puts full responsibility of all maintenance and support requirements in the hands of Thales.

“We are very proud to have been selected by Oman Air and look forward to supporting the airline for years to come. Their system is a great example of how an airline can maximise the utility of the TopSeries platform. We are confident that their passengers will be pleased,” said Alan Pellegrini, Vice President and General Manager of Thales’s In-Flight Entertainment business. The inaugural commercial flight is scheduled for September 30 from Muscat to Frankfurt, Germany.
