niceviewTM: Now on all the Lufthansa long-haul fleets

Lufthansa Technik’s niceview™ modern moving map system is proving
highly successful. Following the first installations on its flagship
Airbus A380s and Boeing 747-8s, Deutsche Lufthansa AG has now decided
to use the system developed by the innovation experts of Lufthansa
Technik on all its long-range types in the future. The work of
installing the system on the large Airbus A330/A340 fleet and the
remaining Boeing 747-400s will commence this year. The system will
then be fitted on almost 120 aircraft in service with Lufthansa.

The niceview™ moving map system offers high-resolution 3-D maps
for different regions of the world as well as virtual flights. It
shows passengers the latest information and conveys a unique visual
experience. Integration of the latest flight simulation technology
and authentic satellite maps make it possible to offer different
photorealistic 2-D and 3-D views for infotainment applications in
real time, with resolutions of up to one meter per pixel. The system
can easily be installed in the frame of virtually any maintenance
check, thus ensuring there is no loss of operating time for the
aircraft.

A number of airlines, mostly European, are already using Lufthansa
Technik’s system. niceview™ is also installed in many government
and VIP aircraft and many business jets.
