To achieve this, they rely on Thales to provide state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment and connectivity solutions for a remarkable experience upholding Hainan Airlines prestigious brand.
Key points
Thales and Hainan Airlines further develop their long term partnership by positioning Thales as the strategic IFEC provider for their new WB A350 fleet.
