Garuda Indonesia has signed a letter of intent with Global Aviation to launch the company's new SkyMediaCenter 3000 in-flight entertainment (IFE) system around the middle of the year.
Garuda Maintenance Facility (GMF) executive vice-president Hadinoto Soedigno claims that the system's features, price and availability make it the most attractive system on the market, and are the reasons why the airline chose not to go with an established vendor.
Installation work should begin in the first and business classes on Garuda's Boeing 747-400s by the middle of the year. Work will begin later on installing the system across the Boeing 737 fleet, and it should eventually be installed on other aircraft types.
