Astronics Corp., of East Aurora, N.Y., was selected by Iberia Airlines to supply its EMPOWER in-seat power systems for the airline’s economy cabins. Iberia already uses EMPOWER products in its business class cabins. The first installation will take place in 2011, and the initial program covers the entire economy cabin, or 267 seats, of seven Airbus 340-300s, Astronics said.
The order includes the newest in-seat power supply system which provides up to 200VA per passenger, USB power outputs and the integrated AC and USB outlet unit.
