Oct. 23, 2020

MEKCO Group has been named as the North / South American distributor for Airfi’s In-Flight Entertainment & Communications System (IFEC) and will operate as AirFi America Inc. Additionally, the company announced Eastern Airlines as its launch customer. Eastern Airlines will have the Airfi system installed in their entire fleet of Boeing 767s and 777s.

“I am delighted to announce that Eastern Airlines is our first client with our newly established AirFi partnership. Eastern will be deploying the latest, zero-touch AirFi FASE system, which further reduces virus-transmission touchpoints for crew and passengers throughout the flight,” said Bill Utset, AirFi America Inc. president.

“We are thrilled with the AirFi speed and efficiency of the wireless IFEC and rollout across our entire fleet. Our first AirFi FASE aircraft was outfitted during its regular 2-day check,” stated Steve Harfst, president and CEO Eastern Airlines.
