WEPPS SUCCESS
Boeing 777 operators have the opportunity to reduce maintenance costs for their emergency lighting systems following certification of STG Aerospace's (stand 6A86) Wireless Emergency Primary Power System (WEPPS) for the widebody twinjet. The approval follows the successful installation of WEPPS on a Kenya Airways 777. WEPPS integrates wireless monitoring, real-time minimum equipment list diagnostics and solid state operation for managing and powering emergency lighting systems.
LIBYAN STAYS ON AIR
OnAir (stand 6G30b) is to install SwiftBroadband Mobile OnAir and WiFi Internet OnAir inflight passenger communications services aboard Libyan Airlines' fleet of Airbus A330 aircraft. The carrier is due to receive its first A330 in June 2011. "With OnAir providing both GSM/GPRS as well as Wi-Fi internet, Libyan Airlines' passengers will have the broadest range of inflight connectivity options available anywhere in the world today," says says Benoit Debains, CEO of OnAir. Libyan selected OnAir for its single-aisle fleet in August last year (comprising four Airbus A320 aircraft to be delivered this year).
TAPIS PARTNERSHIP

Demonstrations are being performed at the Tapis booth throughout the show.
