パナソニック アビオニクス株式会社

Inspired by entertainment systems recently created for the bullet trains in Japan, Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation is founded by Kōnosuke Matsushita.

We engineer the first completely digital audio system, the Passenger Entertainment System (PES), for the B767-200.

We introduce the first Audio Video On Demand (AVOD) 1.0 which meant passengers finally got to decide what they wanted to watch, as well as when to start and stop.

The introduction of eFX marks the first all-digital IFE system. Moving to a fully digital system allows us to vastly simplify the design and reduce bulk.

Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation becomes Panasonic Avionics Corporation to match our parent company’s name change.

We introduce eX2, the first fully digital wide-body AVOD in service. Going from single aisle to twin aisle means showing up on longer haul flights.

We install the first IFE on the A380, the world’s first superjumbo airliner. In doing so, we scale up design of the eX2 to support up to 800 passengers.

We become the first in-revenue service on the B787, positioning ourselves to be well suited for more fuel efficient aircraft.

The long thin route

We introduce eXW, our first wireless IFEC solution, allowing airlines to provide entertainment capabilities without installing hardware in seat backs.

We celebrate forty years of growth and innovation that’s unparalleled in the very market we helped establish.
