“The innovative and open approach of Mirus, KID-Systeme and IFPL has enabled a step change in the integration of peripherals into the seat. This solution demonstrates that ergonomics and aesthetics do not have to be compromised to deliver a low cost, low weight integrated solution. In fact, it provides a significant enhancement to the passenger experience and competitive advantage to an airline” states David Thomas, VP Business Development at IFPL.

“We are excited to be working with KID-Systeme GmbH to deliver a line-fit offerable power system. Along with the integrated USB port in the armrest (developed in conjunction with IFPL) we are proud to be offering such an elegantly integrated solution that brings quality power to passengers” says Phil Hall, CEO of Mirus Aircraft Seating.
