Connected eFB
Hi,
I have seen many glossy pages with connected eFB, i.e. eFB that can and do actually get updated information at least on weather during flight, also over oceans. Does anyone have an idea how many airline aircraft have such eFB ? 30% ? 60 % ? Thanks a lot, Klauis |

Sorry, Klauss, I couldn't resist! I wish I had the answer to your inquiry. - Ed |
Cool picture ! Thanks

This depends on the data source. In case of the source is satelite comms than you probably can estimate the number of aircraft in fleet by taking the number of the aircraft where the internet is available as service onboard. In case of the source is the acars than probably it is vendor dependent but the exact numbers are not available on public.

A good ballpark figure would be good. 30% ? 60 % of airliners with connected eFB ? Never seen any statistic... - which is strange, a bit. |
Connected efbs need a communications datalink, there is a push to move aircraft away from the old slow expensive ACARS networks into IP based solutions as new generation aircraft just use so much more data, for efbs, for passenger services, for maintenance, and covid. A good barometer for what you are asking would be closely correlated to the WI-FI uptake, as that same datalink can be used for airline operations.

30 + 80 = 110, divided by 2 = a bit more than half, globally, equipped with connected eFB. Thatīs not super much. I would have hoped for more. Thanks again, Klaus |
