Luxair goes with navAero tBagC22
for Fleet-Wide Class 2 EFB Program
AUGUST 24, 2010 Sundsvall, Sweden — The navAero tBag™C22 computer and display
hardware has been chosen as the EFB flight deck hardware by Luxair to equip the carrier’s
B737-700/800, Dash 8 Q400 and ERJ145 fleets.
Luxair made the choice for the navAero Class 2 EFB solution for the superior operational
functionalities and retrofit cost savings they will realize through the deployment of tBagC22
hardware technology. Dual networked installations of the navAero tBagC22 hardware
systems – featuring built-in HSDPA/UMTS/GRPS/EDGE for wireless connectivity – will be
installed on the aircraft flightdecks. The EFB CPUs will incorporate solid state drives with
Windows 7 as the operating system. The installations will also incorporate the navAero
Aircraft Interface Device (AID) for certified connectivity to aircraft for gathering ARINC 429
and 717 data with QAR functionality.
navAero will be providing Supplemental Type Certification (EASA STC) for each aircraft
type. Deployments on the Luxair fleets will start during early Q4, 2012 beginning with the
Dash 8 Q400 aircrafts and are scheduled to be completed by early Q2, 2013.
Mr Martin Isler, Luxair Airline manager said: “Luxair introduced the EFB Class 1 in 2003
using Netbooks. Substantial economies have been realized using this technology. The EFB
Class 1 has however reached its limits and Luxair studied the possibility to introduce a Class
2 EFB on the different fleets. Several systems have been analyzed and navAero was the
only product that ticked all the requirements defined in this study.
