Rockwell Collins to provide automated data management system to Delta Air Lines

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (September 23, 2003) - Rockwell Collins, in partnership with Innovative Media Solutions, has announced it will provide Delta Air Lines with eOffload - an Internet-based service that manages in-flight entertainment (IFE) usage and information.

Delta becomes the first major U.S. carrier to use eOffload, which provides on-demand access to, and analysis of, passenger IFE usage and system information. The eOffload capability is supported by Rockwell Collins' enCompass in-flight entertainment service.

"We're pleased that Delta has chosen Rockwell Collins to be its IFE data management provider," said Neil James, director, Collins enCompass. "Airlines recognize the value of having timely access to passenger usage and IFE data. We believe eOffload offers them a truly cost-effective data management solution."

The service gathers and displays data on passenger use of broadcast and on-demand audio and video. Game usage and passenger survey data is also managed. IFE system data such as flight data uploads and seat resets are recorded and displayed as well.

"Having access to such pertinent information about our customers' onboard entertainment usage will allow us to continue differentiating their travel experiences," said Patrice Miles, vice president of Consumer Marketing for Delta. "Analyzing the data gathered will help us provide more of the audio/visual amenities they value most."
