Jet Aviation Basel recently installed a new airborne TV system
designed for multi-region satellite reception in a Boeing 747
Classic and a BBJ. The Tailwind 550 Airborne TV system was developed
by Rockwell Collins' division Airshow. "The new satellite
multi-region TV system represents a significant breakthrough in
airborne TV," says Rainer Albecker, vp and general manager
of Jet's Basel operation. "What customers appreciate most
about the system is the consistent and reliable reception and
smooth transitions from one geographic service provider to the
next especially in the Middle East, where until recently, satellite
reception was difficult to achieve." Jet Aviation Basel can
perform the new installation on the Airbus, BBJ, Gulfstream, Falcon
and Hawker aircraft.
