Jet Airways has selected navAero to supply the t-Bag C22 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) system for the airline's fleet of 96 A330, B737-NG, and ATR 72 aircraft.Jet Airways will begin the implementation of their EFB program next month by deploying the navAero Class 2 systems into ten of the airline's B737-NG aircraft using navAero supplemental type certificate (STC) ST02714NY. This certification is currently going through the approval validation process of India's DGCA. navAero is nearing completion of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) supplemental type certificates for both the A330 and ATR aircraft types. Upon DGCA's validation of the STCs, the installations in these Jet Airways fleets will begin in early 2011.The EFB system deployments will include the navAero-designed UMTS/HSDPA/3G cellular communications module which will enable on-ground data transfer, and the ARINC 429 connectivity module that, when made operational, will allow for the depiction of own-ship position on an airport surface moving map application. In terms of other EFB applications, Jet Airways will be using several different EFB applications, including performance software, provided by Boeing, ATR, Airbus, and others. The airline will also be using the EFB platform for viewing document as well as displaying aeronautical charts as an extended service from their current charting provider, Jeppesen."We decided on the navAero EFB solution because their offering made the best sense for Jet Airways. Their hardware technology met our requirements and needs -- in terms of functionality and reliability -- and will give us the robust platform to deploy the applications that will let us meet our business goals," says Capt. Hassan Al-Mousawi, senior vice president of operations and OTP at Jet Airways. "The navAero hardware was also the only solution that made economic sense to meet the requirements of our business model."
