GAMCO installs satellite TV systems on board Kingfisher Airbus

GAMCO installed the Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system on the first Kingfisher aircraft early this year and will complete work on the first batch of the airline's A320s this month.
"This is an industry-first for GAMCO in Asia. Kingfisher is the first airline in Asia and the second in the world to install on-board satellite television on Airbus A320, and all of us in GAMCO are very proud that this was done at our facilities in Abu Dhabi by our engineers and technicians," GAMCO's Chief Executive Officer Saif Al Mughairy said.
In-flight entertainment for passengers has until recently focused on a menu of films, pre-recorded television programs and music. DBS systems enable aircraft to receive signals directly to provide passengers access to a full spectrum of satellite video and audio programming. The system installed on Kingfisher aircraft will enable passengers to receive 16 television channels distributed to each passenger seat via the in-flight entertainment system.
