Bluebox Wow to be Deployed Across Cobalt Fleet

Cyprus’ award-winning flag carrier Cobalt Air selects Bluebox Wow to provide wireless IFE

DUNFERMLINE, UK – 31 January 2018 – Cobalt Air has signed a 3-year agreement with Bluebox Aviation Systems Ltd. for the deployment of Bluebox’s portable wireless IFE platform – Bluebox Wow – across the airline’s fleet of Airbus A319-100s and A320-200s.

“As we make the rapid transition from low-cost to full-service carrier, we recognise the role that delivering a high-quality inflight entertainment experience has to play,” said Andrew Madar, Chief Executive Officer, Cobalt Air. “Bluebox Wow enables us to do this quickly and cost-effectively, and with virtually no disruption to our service, which would have happened if we’d attempted to implement a fitted system. The power and capabilities of Bluebox Wow are very impressive.”

“As an award-winning start-up airline, Cobalt’s commitment to delivering service innovation is already well recognised,” said Kevin Clark, Chief Executive Officer, Bluebox Aviation Systems Ltd. “We’re delighted – not only to welcome Cobalt to our growing customer list – but that our own award-winning Bluebox Wow was selected to be part of their on-going innovation, delivering an exceptional IFE experience for passengers across Cobalt’s rapidly expanding route network.”

Bluebox Wow provides wireless content streamed to passenger devices in any aircraft cabin, including up to 1.6 terabytes of film, TV, audio, games and other digital content, accessed through any web browser. With a remarkably low cost of ownership, Bluebox Wow is a discrete, portable, lunchbox-sized unit. Stowed in overhead lockers, each box’s single, swappable rechargeable battery offers the equivalent of delivering 15 hours of streamed video content to 50 passengers simultaneously.
