TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services has completed its first Global Express aircraft project with Rockwell Collins' Venue cabin management and entertainment system upgrade.

“Because consumer technologies advance so rapidly, existing systems are fast becoming obsolete,” says TAG sales director Stuart Kirkwood. “Our maintenance services team at Farnborough is impressed with this first installation result and, with a growing demand for future generation CMS system upgrades, we can now support customers who want to add value and airborne enhancements to their aircraft with this exciting upgrade.”

The customer is said to be 'absolutely delighted' with the installation, according to Paul Burke of PB Engineering Solutions, the on-site technical representative: “It has provided greatly increased flexibility in the cabin, with functionality for audio, video, LED lighting, temperature control and window shades now readily available via cabin controllers or iPads. The introduction of cinematic sound, multiple source options and multiple cabin zones to HD monitors and iPads has vastly improved the experience for the end user.”
