Singapore Airlines is in the process of upgrading its fleet of Boeing 777s with Astronautics' Block Point 4 electronic flight bag. The new EFBs are replacing existing Block Point 3 units on the 777s and can be installed overnight.


"œThe new EFB will enable the storage of more information including detailed charts, maps, documents and databases, allowing operators to enhance airplane performance and improve operation efficiency," explained Astronautics' business development vice president Larry Levine.


Due to the enhancements introduced to the EFB by U.S.-based Astronautics, there has been substantial improvement to the mean time between failures.
