JetBlue and Airbus have signed a deal to upgrade cockpit displays on part of the carrier’s A320 fleet.
Airbus will install Enhanced Electronic Instrument System (EEIS2) displays on 46 aircraft, officials said. The new systems come with high-resolution LCD technology intended to improve the visualization of information for pilots.
The enhanced displays will also help create a common technical foundation for future avionics upgrades, according to Airbus.
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed, nor was the timeline for installations.
EEIS2 equipment is designed and supplied by Thales and integrated by Airbus.
“Investing in upgrades like EEIS2 is an important part of our JetForward strategy, supporting our focus on delivering reliable and caring service for our customers,” David Marcontell, vice president of technical operations at JetBlue, said in a news release. “Enhancements like these advanced cockpit displays help us modernize older aircraft, ensuring every aircraft remains safe, reliable, and ready to perform.”
JetBlue operates one of the largest Airbus fleets in North America, with both A320-family and A220 aircraft.
