Frontier Airlines Getting LiveTV for Its A319s

Frontier Airlines says it has signed a purchase and long-term services agreement with LiveTV to install satellite receiving equipment on all of its Airbus fleet.  Live television programming for the systems will come from DIRECTV AIRBORNE, a unit of Hughes Electronics.

Installation of the equipment on Frontier’s seventeen A319s is scheduled to begin this month, and should be completed by the end of March next year.  As Frontier’s remaining 15 ordered A319s are delivered from Airbus, the system will be installed on them as well.  Frontier estimates this process will take about three days per aircraft.

LiveTV, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of JetBlue, provides in-flight entertainment systems for single-aisle commercial aircraft, including live in-seat satellite television, XM Satellite Radio service, wireless aircraft datalink service, cabin surveillance systems and Internet services.  10-10-2002.
