Cathay Pacific’s “Aria Suite”introduces a ground-breaking IFEC system that unifies in-flight entertainment and cabin environment control like never before. For the first time in aviation, passengers can manage lighting, seat position, and crew communication through fully integrated “Activity Modes” - customizable pre-sets accessiblevia the IFE screen, handset, seat control display, or remote. Seamlessly connected to the aircraft’s systems, the interface even allows passengers inall classes to check lavatory availability from their seat. As the judges noted during their deliberations, the ability to integrate WC availability has been a longstanding aim of cabin system designers, setting the winning entry apart as a new industry benchmark in smart cabin interaction.
