OnAir has contracted ECS to develop a retrofit solution to install its onboard mobile phone system on Boeing 737 aircraft.
The deal follows Ryanair's decision to equip its entire 737 fleet with OnAir's GSM phone service by mid-2008.
Awarded to ECS after a competitive request for proposal, the contract covers all hardware adaptation, engineering development and management of the technical certification and approval process with relevant authorities including EASA and the US Federal Aviation Administration, OnAir said at last week's World Airline Entertainment Association conference and exhibition in Miami. Installation of the retrofit package will be carried out by airlines' own teams, or by third party specialist contractors, with ECS providing training and ongoing technical support.
