Inflight Productions To Work With ORBIS
December 6, 2010 — Following the success of the APEX partnership with ORBIS in 2010, Inflight Productions, Atlas, DTI and Fairdeal are delighted to also be supporting ORBIS in the UK. By replacing the traditional Seasonal Greetings card with an e-card, the group has donated the savings to ORBIS in support of the life-transforming work the charity carries out saving sight worldwide. Following this donation IFP London staff received a visit from Karen Jaques, ORBIS EMA and Heather Machin, Director of Nursing for the Flying Eye Hospital. Heather spends 42 weeks of the year travelling with the Flying Eye Hospital team and explained in detail the unique work that ORBIS does from surgery and training, to hospital based teaching programmes and community outreach work.
Leigh Mantle, IFP Technical Director and APEX Board member says ‘We’re really pleased to be supporting ORBIS and feel lucky that Heather was able to visit us and share the exceptional work they are doing with our staff. We will be looking at other ways we can support ORBIS over the next year.’
The headset is the most critical part of any IFE system. It defines the quality of audio delivery and its look and feel defines the quality of the Airline. The headset is probably responsible for more passenger complaints, and IFE reliability issues than any other IFE component - so why do most airlines leave its procurement to the catering department?”
