The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted Airbus certification for the On Air mobile telephony system on-board its whole A320 Family.
The approval granted by the agency covers all single-aisle types, the A318, A319, A320 and A321, and follows the first individual certification that was awarded in June 2007 for one individual A318.
Airbus is the first to receive airworthiness certification for a cell-phone system on board a complete family of aircraft, for both production and forward-fit installation.
With this approval, Airbus passengers will be able to use their BlackBerry-type and mobile phones to send and receive emails and text messages, and to make and receive voice calls.
