Aircraft interiors EXPO: AIX and WAEA become neighbours
Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas, this show?s second regional spin-off after AIX Asia, will take place alongside the most venerable event in the IFE industry ? the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) annual conference and exhibition ? in Long Beach, California, this September. The two shows will be right next to one another, and a mutual admissions policy has been developed for airlines and exhibitors. The association and AIX organiser Reed Exhibitions are each offering a trade exhibition ? the one focused on IFE and communications plus content, the other on the whole gamut of cabin systems ? while WAEA aims to add unique value with an enhanced programme of education, keynote presentations and networking events. The arrangement recognises Reed?s success in attracting exhibitors of interest to the WAEA?s North American membership, who were to avoid the extra cost of attending two comparable but geographically separate events. The result is a reci

Aircraft interiors EXPO: Skilled staff crisis threatens boom
The aircraft interiors industry is facing crisis unless there is a greater sudden influx of engineers and skilled labour joining the supply chain. One of the world?s major completions houses is at Hamburg not promoting its capabilities but instead recruiting engineers to fend off a potential crisis it has predicted in the completions industry. Outfitting centres have been hard pushed to meet demand over the last couple of years as the industry expands exponentially and engineers are in increasingly short supply. Zurich-based Jet Aviation says it needs to promote recruitment to meet the demands for skilled labour as it grows its VVIP worldwide operation. The luxury interiors demanded by this market include materials that have to be worked with extreme care and precision by staff endowed with old-fashioned craft skills. Where does the company find them? ?We have an advantage in being located close to where Switzerland, France and Germany meet,? says gen

PGA started work on the system just 15 months ago. ?It was a big leap forward for us,? says company president Jean-Francois Piaulet. ?And it adds an important new piece to our overall product offering, which includes a cabin management system that can be used to operate the AVOD.? The system centres on a server that can support up to 200 films or a thousand music CDs and distribute them to up to 20 users simultaneously. Extra servers can be added to the network, which is based on 1Gb Ethernet, to provide extra cap

Aircraft interiors EXPO: Aerokid helps seat youngsters safely Lufthansa Technik believes it?s solved the dilemma of safely transporting babies and children on aircraft with a new product, AeroKid. AeroKid was unveiled here at the show and according to the company is the first fully integrated child seat for passenger airlines. The company says that this solves the long-standing logistical problem of child seats on aircraft. Before AeroKid the airline, child?s parents or accompanying adults would have to supply the child seat. But, AeroKid solves this with adjustable foot and arm rests and a seat area that can be lengthened or shortened, can be adapted to suit the individual heights of children aged between two and 12. AeroKid can use adjusting shoulder belts ? it has special fasteners on either side of the seat ? when required to guarantee optimum safety. To plug the gap from newborn to two-year old toddler it can integrate a seat for this age group. The integrated baby seat unfolds out o Aircraft interiors EXPO: Infants protected by Hoover preserver?
