Isle of Wight-based IFPL Group is celebrating a significant order from the Bulgarian airline, Electra Airways. Electra Airways, which provides services to leading tour operators, airlines and brokers within the aerospace industry, has selected IFPL Group’s Cobalt Spectrum LED mood lighting for its A321 fleet refresh. Cobalt Spectrum mood lighting is an innovative ‘plug and play’ system, designed from the ground up to meet the needs of every commercial airline. Deployed and flying with multiple carriers worldwide, Cobalt Spectrum is a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes. IFPL Group was formed in 2021 after the acquisition of Cobalt Aerospace by Calbourne-based IFPL and is the parent organisation of both specialist aerospace design and production companies. Matvey Koloturskiy, Deputy CEO of the Vector Group Ltd, owners of Electra Airways, has said:
“We have strategically decided to refurbish all cabins in Electra Airways’ fleet with the aim of achieving multiple objectives: delivering an exceptional product to our customers and integrating cutting-edge technologies that enhance sustainability and reduce weight in our operations. “The LED lighting, supplied by Cobalt Aerospace, aligns perfectly with these goals. We are confident that our passengers and partners will appreciate the cozy and colorful lighting features, enhancing their onboard experience. Additionally, from an operational standpoint, the installation of this new lighting system will further reduce the overall weight of our A320 aircraft by an additional 50 kg. “We eagerly anticipate unveiling the final result to our passengers in the coming weeks!”
Tommy Nelms, Vice President of Global Sales for IFPL Group, comments:
“In recent years, the aviation industry has witnessed a growing emphasis on creating a unique and memorable passenger experience. Realising this demand, we have invested significant resources in research and development to craft an exceptional wireless controlled LED cabin mood lighting solution. By blending creativity with advanced technology, we aim to improving the way passengers perceive their time in-flight, and support relaxation and well-being.”
