LONG BEACH, Calif. (September 10, 2008) - Oman Air has selected Rockwell Collins to provide its Airshow 4200D Moving Map and Flight Information System for seven of the airline's Airbus 330 fleet. The first aircraft will be delivered in August 2009.

"Our latest generation Airshow 4200D continues to be successful with its value proposition - to provide passengers with real-time information about their flights with the highest level of product reliability," said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager of Cabin Systems for Rockwell Collins.

Rockwell Collins AS-4200D provides enhanced clarity and resolution with sharper detail and more vibrant colors. It has been optimized for in-seat and overhead digital displays and has native digital image generation, without the limitations of analog-to-digital conversion.

It also offers features such as Dual Independent Digital Audio/Video outputs, native 16:9 Widescreen display, integrated IFE system control over Ethernet, A380 compatibility for Flight Data over Ethernet and IFE system Ethernet link for data connectivity.
