Just come off a BLR-DEL flight on Indigo, and as far as I am concerned, the new generation ozone filters that their A-320s have as well as the practice of leaving the overhead hatracks free for passengers does it for me far better than IFE.


 


(this ozone filter thing, I am told, is only on the newer 320s?? and as for the hatracks, ever seen how the front and rear hatracks are always filled up with crew stuff and aircraft stuff?)

Ozone filters are a part of the aircrafts Aircon system and have been in use since the early 80s. Probably Indigo has got this new system which stops water condensation in humid operating conditions, a term known as ''Rain in Plane''.


As a aircraft engineer i would always wonder about the ever increasing equipment being located in the hatracks i.e. IFE, Oxygen, Raft, Bassinet, Child Life jackets, Blankets etc. Having said that most airlines manage to find a place to store your SINGLE hand bag.

The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] recently delivered the first Next-Generation 737 equipped with an in-seat video entertainment system.


The airplane, a Jet Airways 737-800, has 7-inch video monitors mounted in the back of every seat in economy class and 9-inch video monitors mounted in the seat arms in business class. The system offers passengers audio and video on-demand movies, games and in-fight information.


"Our goal is to help our customers continue to succeed by providing technologies that add value to their operations and make flying more enjoyable for passengers," said Mark Jenkins, vice president and general manager of 737 Airplane Production.


To date three customers have ordered the in-seat video system option, which is manufactured by Panasonic and Thales.


In addition to the Panasonic eFx in-seat video system, the Jet Airways 737-800 also is equipped with 110-VAC power outlets throughout the cabin and gooseneck personal reading lights in business class.


"Jet Airways strives to provide service of the highest standard to our customers, both while on the ground and in flight," said Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways. "We are especially proud to be the first 737 operator both in India and the world to offer this service to its customers. We strongly believe that we are bringing innovative ideas and setting new standards in commercial aviation."


The India-based carrier currently operates a fleet of 43 Boeing Classic and Next-Generation 737-400/-700/-800/-900 airplanes. The airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.


The Next-Generation 737 airplane family is the most technologically advanced single-aisle jet family on the market today. Known for its versatility, reliability, fuel efficiency and economical performance, the Next-Generation 737 models have been selected by leading full-service airlines and low-cost carriers throughout the world, and continue to be the company's best-selling airplane model.
