Executive Jet Inc has chosen entertainment and information systems Airshow TV, Airshow Network and Airshow Integrated Cabin Management Systems for its fleet of Boeing Business Jets. Scott Liston, Executive Jet's senior vice president of standards and corporate development, commented: "It has always been Executive Jet's president Richard Santulli's desire to have the best technology available on the ground in the air. \r"The Airshow products were chosen for the Boeing Business Jets fleet because they bring the real world into the aircraft, allowing our NetJets owners to continue their business or personal activity while aboard the aircraft. This is especially important with the BBJ, which flies over 500 miles an hour on flights up to 14 hours, because access to info-rmation minimises the impact that travel has on the traveller," Liston added.\rAirshow TV is the first live airborne direct broadcast satellite television system made available to private jets. The Airshow Network allows passengers to obtain up to the minute news, sports and weather information while the Integrated Cabin Management System allows passengers to activate lighting, temperature and entertainment controls easily.\rAdditionally, executives who cannot bear to be out of touch with important business contacts while in flight can now stay connected with an inflight email service which brings them "a step closer to the Internet in the sky," according to Airshow. Before leaving on a business trip, business passengers can arrange for copies of their emails to be forwarded to their AirshowMail account. \rOnce onboard the aircraft, the passenger can either plug their lap-top into the Ethernet port inside the cabin which is connected to an on-board AirshowMail server, or access email through the Airshow cabin management system using a remote keyboard and at-seat monitor.\rRequests for email can be activated manually by the passenger or the airborne server can be programmed to automatically dial the Network Operations Center to check for accumulated messages at intervals. AirshowMail subscribers can even access their email at ground locations, for example hotels, where their company network does not have access.
