With RAVE™14 and DreamZ, a product that existed before the acquisition of IMS, the Group is growing on the IFE “Passenger Centric” market, making each seat entirely independent. Deliveries of products were made for the entire fleet, new and reconfigured, of Corsair Airbus A330s and Boeing B747s beginning in late 2012. In mid-2013, the first Lufthansa aircraft reconfigured with RAVE™ resumed service. This system offers solid advantages: SD cards for storing data, replaceable and removable screens during flight, lightweight design, low power consumption, and reduced installation time. The Zodiac Services repair center at Roissy added the maintenance of IFEsforthe Group to its capabilities. In addition to the IFE offering, connectivity developments (in-flight Internet access and GSM) are accelerating with the acquisition of Triagnosys. There is also good performance for seat actuators with increased sales toJamco, Sogerma and Zodiac Seats, manufacturing began in Chihuahua and delivery of new seat lighting systems to Zodiac Seats.
