We are pleased to add another airline to the eVU family and expect additional IFE orders and customers,” said Will Blakeley, e.Digital’s president and chief technical officer. “Notwithstanding the dramatic rise in jet fuel costs and the possible impact on IFE spending plans by the airlines, We also believe eVU can contribute additional revenue airlines are seeking to help defray soaring costs.”we believe our IFE system is the best portable solution available to airlines offering no, or limited, in-flight entertainment.

During and subsequent to the March Aircraft Interiors Expo, we met with potential embedded eVU system partners and, given the state of the industry and the substantial development time and costs involved to complete and qualify the system, we have elected to focus these resources on portable eVU applications outside of IFE and diversify our customer base,” remarked Blakeley. “We are working on business opportunities that we expect will yield non-IFE eVU orders later this year.”
